INSTALLING THE TIP GUARDS
(OptIOnAL)
When it is not possible to fasten the dishwasher to the
cabinet, you should install a tip guard to prevent the
machine from tipping when the door is opened. The tip
guards can be attached either to the floor or the wall.
The tip guard should be mounted behind the machine,
18-1/2” (470 mm) from the front of the machine centered in
the width of the cutout opening. (Note: This measurement
could vary, depending on the thickness of the custom
panel, if any.)

location, such as, beneath the sink.
It is important that the water supply line and the shut-off
valve have a sufficient flow volume. At last 3 gallons (12
liters) per minute must be able to pass through the line.
The water pressure should be 4.2-140 psi.
