Installing your dishwasher

Be sure that you or your installer follow these instructions closely so that your new dishwasher works properly and that you’re not at risk of injury when washing dishes.

New installation

If the dishwasher is a new installation, most of the installation work must be done before the dishwasher is moved into place.

Replacement

If the dishwasher is replacing an old dishwasher, you must check the exising dishwasher connections for compatibility with the new dishwasher. Replace the existing connections as necessary.

STEP 1. SELECTING THE BEST LOCATION FOR THE DISHWASHER

The hole for the water supply line, drain hose and power cables.

The following criteria are important to ensure the best location for the dishwasher:

The location must have a solid fl oor that is able to support the weight of the dishwasher.

The location must be near a sink with easy access to the water supply, drain, and electrical outlet. To ensure smooth draining, place the drain hose at a height of 30-80 cm.

The location must let you load your dishes into the dishwasher easily.

The location must have sufficient space for the dishwasher door to open easily and provide enough space between the dishwasher and the cabinet sides (at least 2 mm).

The wall at the back must be free of obstructions.

If this is a new installation, follow these steps:

1.Using a hole saw, cut a hole into the side of the cabinet that holds the sink as shown.

2.If the base inside the sink cabinet is raised above the kitchen fl oor and is higher than the connections on the dishwasher, make a hole in the base inside the cabinet and in the cabinet side as shown.

Depending on where your electrical outlet is, you may need to cut a hole in the opposite cabinet side.
