household drain plumbing or through an air gap,
install a dishwasher connection piece under the sink,
as shown in Figure 8, letter A.
Installing an Air Gap
If local ordinances require an air gap, as shown in
Figure 9, letter B, install it according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.

PLUMBING PREPARATION (continued)
DISHWASHER
PREPARATION
Dishwasher preparation involves four tasks:
• Installing the Mounting Brackets
• Removing the Toe Panel
• Installing the 90° elbow fitting
• Junction Box Preparation
Installing the Mounting Brackets
CAUTION
:
Before installing the supplied mounting
brackets (letter E in the Materials Supplied section of
this manual), decide which method of securing the
dishwasher into its enclosure will be used. Once the
mounting brackets are installed on the dishwasher,
removing them is difficult and will damage the
mounting brackets and the dishwasher.
The dishwasher can be secured into its enclosure in
two ways:
1.
Top Mount
is used for countertops made of wood
or other materials that can easily drilled. Orient the
mounting brackets as shown in Figure 11, letter
A, and position the two small tabs on the mounting
brackets over the two slots on the dishwasher’s
front corners. Push the mounting brackets down
firmly to insert the tabs into the slots.
2.
Side Mount
is used for countertops made of
marble, granite, or other very hard materials that
cannot be easily drilled. Bend the mounting
brackets along the small holes and in the same
direction as the two small tabs. Orient the
mounting brackets as shown in Figure 11, letter B,
and position the two small tabs on the mounting
brackets over the two slots on the dishwasher’s
front corners. Push the mounting brackets down
firmly to insert the tabs into the slots.
