Location Requirements

Protect dishwasher and water lines leading to dishwasher against freezing. Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.

If dishwasher will be left unused for a period of time or in a location where it may be subject to freezing, have it winterized by authorized service personnel.

The dishwasher is shipped ready for installation of a one-hole faucet. If a two-, three-, or four-hole faucet is to be installed, the holes must be added by a qualified plumber, according to the faucet manufacturer’s specifications.

If the hot water accessory tank, Part No. 4396282 will be used, the tank should be installed first. It may be difficult to install the drain line to the T&P valve on the hot water accessory tank, if it is not installed first.
