Installation Instructions
WARNING
Do not connect the electrical, water inlet or drain
until instructed to do so in the
Verifying Proper
Operation
section.
Do not install the dishwasher unless the
electrical service provided meets the
Electrical
Specifications
.
A qualified technician must complete the installation
of this built-in appliance. The owner is responsible to
make sure the dishwasher is properly installed.
To avoid an electrical shock hazard, make sure
the dishwasher power plug is disconnected before
proceeding with the installation.
Do not allow any material, including the hoses or
electrical wiring to be directly behind the dishwasher
while pushing it into the cut-out opening. Carefully
pull the slack out of both hoses and the wire from
outside the cut-out during push back to prevent
pinching. An electric shock hazard or water damage
may result from pinched wires or hoses. Damage due
to improper installation is not covered under warranty.
Keep the factory installed high loop drain hose in
place to ensure proper dishwasher operation. Do not
cut, tie, strap or lower it. If it is necessary to lengthen
it, install an aftermarket drain extension kit, available
at most home improvement stores.

Installing the Unit in the Cabinet
Care should be exercised when the appliance is installed or
removed, to reduce the likelihood of damage to the power
cord or hoses.
With the assistance of at least one person, set the unit
in front of the cut-out opening.
Feed the electrical cord, drain hose and water supply
hose through the utility access hole(s) in the side(s) of
the cabinet.
Slide the dishwasher back into the opening while
pulling the hoses and electric cord through the utility
cutouts in the cabinet from the back. Stop when the
dishwasher contacts the back wall or aligns with the
front cabinet opening.
Leveling the Dishwasher
CAUTION
A level unit is very important to proper operation. Be
sure to level the unit front to back and side to side.
Do not use a power driver to adjust the rear leveling
legs, doing so may damage the dishwasher.
Do not over torque the leveling legs. Doing so
will distort the dishwasher chassis leading to door
alignment problems and possible water damage.
To prevent damaging the dishwasher, adjust the
leveling legs only 1/2” (13 mm) at a time, per leg.

To align the dishwasher correctly inside the cabinet
opening, the legs must be adjusted to level the appliance.
After centering the appliance in the opening, level the
appliance by adjusting all four leveling legs.
To verify front to back level, remove the lower rack from
the dishwasher and place a level on the tank side wall
rack guides.
To verify left to right level, place a level on the tank
lower front frame.
