cable and drain hose. Or, cut an additional 1-1/2" diameter

STEP 2–CHECK DOOR BALANCE

With dishwasher on the wood skid, check the door balance by opening and closing the door.

If the door drops when released, increase the spring tension. If the door rises when released, decrease the tension.

Turn off the water supply.

Install a hand shut-off valve in an accessible location, such as under the sink. (Optional, but strongly recommended and may be required by local codes.)

Water connection is on the left side of the dishwasher. Install the hot water inlet line, using no less than 3/8" copper tubing. Route the line as shown in Figure F and extend forward at least 19" from rear wall.

Adjust water heater for 120°F to 150°F temperature.

Flush water line to clean out debris.

The hot water supply line pressure must be 20-120 PSI.

Increase CAUTION:

Do not remove wood base until you are ready to install the dishwasher. The dishwasher will tip over when the door is opened if the wood base is removed.

STEP 1–PREPARATION

Locate the items in the installation package and set aside for use in the listed steps:

Screw kit – Steps 5 or 18 and 15

Side mount kit (some models) – Step 12

Junction box cover – Step 5 or 18

Drain hose and clamp – Step 7

Trim pieces (some models) – Step 11

Owner's Manual - Steps 19 and 22

IMPORTANT – Do not kick off wood base! Damage will occur.

Move the dishwasher close to the installation location and lay it on its back.
