WARNING
Avoiding General Hazards
Do not use the dishwasher until it is completely installed. When open-
ing the door on an uninstalled dishwasher, carefully open the door
while supporting the rear of the unit. Failure to follow this warning
can cause the dishwasher to tip over and result in serious injury.
Before installing the “L”-shaped supplied countertop mounting brack-
ets (select models), decide which method will be used to secure the
dishwasher into its opening. Once these mounting brackets are
installed on the dishwasher, removing them is difficult and will dam-
age the mounting brackets and the dishwasher.
In some conditions, hydrogen gas can form in a hot water system that
has not been used for weeks. Hydrogen gas is explosive.
Before filling a dishwasher from a system that has been off for weeks,
run the water from a nearby faucet in a well ventilated area until there
is no sound or evidence of gas.
Temperatures required for soldering and sweating will damage the
dishwasher’s base and water inlet valve. If plumbing lines are to be
soldered or sweated, keep the heat source at least 6 inches (152.4
mm) away from the dishwasher’s base and water inlet valve.
Removing any cover or pulling the dishwasher from the cabinet can
expose hot water connections, electrical power and sharp edges or
points. Handle with care. Always wear gloves and safety glasses.
Avoiding Electrical Shock/Fire Hazards
Do not allow the electrical and water supply lines to touch. Separate
channels are provided under the dishwasher.
Do not work on an energized circuit. Doing so could result in serious
injury or death. Only qualified electricians should perform electrical
work. Do not attempt any work on the dishwasher electric supply cir-
cuit until you are certain the circuit is de-energized.
Make sure electrical work is properly installed. There should be no
loose electrical connections. Ensure all electrical connections are
properly made.
The customer has the responsibility of ensuring that the dishwasher
electrical installation is in compliance with all national and local elec-
trical codes and ordinances. The dishwasher is designed for an electri-
cal supply of 120V, 60 Hz, AC, connected to a dishwasher-dedicated,
properly grounded electrical circuit with a fuse or breaker rated for 15
amps. Electrical supply conductors shall be a minimum #14 AWG cop-
per only wire rated at 75°C (167°F) or higher.
This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent
wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run
with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-ground-
ing terminal or lead on the appliance. Do not use extension cords.
Avoiding Plumbing/Scalding Hazards
Do not perform any work on a charged hot water line. Serious injury
could result. Only qualified plumbers should perform plumbing work.
Do not attempt any work on the dishwasher hot water supply plumb-
ing until you are certain the hot water supply is shut off.
Do not over tighten the 90° elbow. Doing so may damage the water
inlet valve and cause a water leak.
Temperatures required for soldering and sweating will damage the
dishwasher’s water inlet valve. If plumbing lines are to be soldered or
sweated, keep the heat source at least 6 inches (152.4 mm) away
from the dishwasher’s water inlet valve.
Check local plumbing codes for approved plumbing procedures and
accessories. All plumbing should be done in accordance with national
and local codes.
These instructions depict an installation method for stainless steel
braided hose or PEX hot water supply lines. If using copper tubing or
other material for water supply, defer to a licensed plumber for proper
installation.
