INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

For complete installation procedures see the “Installation Instructions” in the literature packet provided with the dishwasher.

A video presentation, Key Features and Installation Considerations, part number

4317280V, is available. This video covers the entire installation process.

Each location will present a different set of challenges that can be anticipated and solved before installation begins.

• Check the planned location of the dishwasher.
• Easy access to hot water, drain line and electricity.
•	Convenient access for loading. The dishwasher door should open and close freely.
•	The opening under the counter should be square and the cabinet fronts should be perpendicu-
	lar to the floor.

•	Make sure the cabinet opening is free of intrusions such as braces or utility lines.
•	Do not install the dishwasher on carpeted floors.
•	An outside wall behind the dishwasher should be insulated to prevent the water line, inlet valve
	and drain line from freezing and rupturing.

Additional Considerations

The application of a horizontal pump and filter technology allows for the tub to be designed three inches deeper than current models. This deeper

tub and longer door design will impact the instal- lation process because there is less working space available underneath the unit and correct routing and placement of the drain hose, water supply and electrical wiring is critical.

The tub must be level. Reduced water consump- tion of this dishwasher requires that it be installed level and plumb for proper water recirculation back into the sump area during operation.

(57° C)

Do not remove the drain tube from the left side of the tub. If the loop is removed, the dishwasher will not initiate Automatic Purge Filtration. The drain tube also contains a check valve in the L-connector that prevents backflow of water into the dishwasher from the house- hold drain system.
