Please read this book completely before you begin. These instructions will help you anticipate water,
electrical, and drain connections, and will help you select the best location for your dishwasher. Installation tips are located on page 3.
NOTE: Observe all local codes and ordinances for electrical and plumbing connections when installing your new dishwasher. All electrical and plumbing work should be performed by qualified persons.
Plan the Installation
Locate the dishwasher where there is easy access to existing water, drain, and electrical lines. Be sure the water inlet valve will be protected from freezing temperatures. If the valve freezes, flooding may occur.
The best location for your dishwasher is on either side of the kitchen sink. This position should provide easy access to existing plumbing and will be convenient for loading items into the dishwasher once your dishwasher is installed.
