• Read these instructions carefully and
completely before installing the
dishwasher. The installation should be
carried out by a qualified installer, who is
familiar with all local codes and ordinances
for electrical and plumbing connections. If
the dishwasher is being installed for the
first time, most of the work has to be done
before you move it into place. If you are
replacing an old dishwasher, you must
check the old connections.
• Electrical requirements are listed in the
“Specifications” section.
Site Preparation
Note:
It is recommended that a thorough
site inspection be conducted PRIOR to
unpacking and moving this appliance.
• After determining where the water
supply line will connect to the
dishwasher, provide a 2” (5.1 cm) access
hole and run the line to the approximate
fill valve location. Sealing access area
once lines are in place is recommended.
• Confirm available access to adequate power.
Water Supply
• Water pressure for the water supply should
be a minimum of 10 to 125 psi. The
dishwasher is supplied with a 5’ (1.5 m)
braided stainless steel water line with 3/8”
(0.95 cm) compression fitting connected to
dishwasher.
• After determining where the water supply
line will connect to the dishwasher, provide
a 2” (5.1 cm) access hole and run the
water supply line to the approximate fill
valve location.
• For service convenience, a shut-off valve
(not supplied) should be installed in the
supply line in a readily accessible location
(such as beneath the sink).
•
It is recommended that the dishwasher
be connected to a hot water supply.
Only the 451 model can be connected to
the cold water supply. Cycle times will
increase.
• It is important that the water supply line
and the shut-off valve have a sufficient flow
volume. Flush the supply line prior to
connecting it to the intake line of the
dishwasher.
• Make sure the connection is sealed and not
leaking before completing the installation.
Drain
• The access hole for the drain line should
be 2” square (5.1 cm). Locate as low and
as near to the back wall as possible.
•
DO NOT
use any fittings anywhere in the
drain line that are less than 1/2” (1.3 cm) ID.
• If the drain line is going to be connected
to a food waste disposer, be sure to
remove the knockout or plug from the
fitting before connecting drain line.
• Drain connection should be a minimum of
9” (22.9cm) from the floor. If connection is
lower, siphoning during cycle can occur.
Note:
The end of the drain hose is 1” (2.5 cm),
but is adjustable to 3/4” (1.9 cm) or 5/8”
(1.6 cm). If the drain connection is smaller
than 1” (2.5 cm), the hose can be cut to fit
the connection.
Note:
Be sure to run the drain line through
the hole to the sink compartment before
moving the dishwasher into place.

Verify operation of the door counter
balance springs after installation of
the overlay panel. The additional
weight of the overlay panel might
require an adjustment to the preload
of the counterbalance springs. If
adjustment of the springs is required,
please refer to the
“Counter Balance
Spring”
section.
Carefully tighten each screw to secure the overlay
and check to ensure that the overlay is square with the
