OPENING/CLEARANCE DIMENSIONS

IMPORTANT:
Check that all surfaces have no protrusions that would prohibit dishwasher installation.

NOTE:
Corner locations require a 2″ (5.1 cm) minimum clearance between the side of the dishwasher door and the wall or cabinet.

DRAIN REQUIREMENTS

• A new drain hose is supplied with your dishwasher. If the drain hose is not long enough, use a new drain hose with a maximum length of 12 ft (3.7 m) that meets all current AHAM/ IAPMO test standards, is resistant to heat and detergent, and fits the 1″ (2.5 cm) drain connector of the dishwasher.
  NOTE: Do not connect multiple drain hoses.

• Make sure to connect the drain hose to the waste tee or disposer inlet above the drain trap in house plumbing and 20″ (50.8 cm) minimum above the floor. It is recommended that the drain hose either be looped up and securely fastened to the underside of the counter or be connected to an air gap.

• Make sure to use an air gap if the drain hose is connected to house plumbing lower than 20″ (50.8 cm) above the subfloor or floor.

• If required, the air gap should be installed per the air gap installation instructions. When you are connecting the air gap, a rubber hose (not provided) will be needed to connect to the waste tee or disposer inlet.

• Use 1/2″ (1.3 cm) minimum I.D. drain line fittings.

WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

• This dishwasher has a water heating feature and also requires a connection to a hot water supply line.

• A hot water line with 20 psi to 120 psi (138 kPa to 862 kPa) water pressure can be verified by a licensed plumber.

• 120°F (49°C) water at dishwasher.

• 3/8″ (0.95 cm) O.D. copper tubing with compression fitting or flexible braided water supply line.
  NOTE: 1/2″ (1.3 cm) minimum plastic tubing is not recommended.

• A 90° elbow with 3/4″ (0.95 cm) hose connection with rubber washer.

• Do not solder within 6″ (15.2 cm) of the water inlet valve.

• If installed in new construction, make sure the house water supply lines have been flushed prior to connecting the dishwasher to remove any debris that may exist in the supply line.

NOTE:
If replacing an existing dishwasher, it is recommended to install a new water line and drain hose (supplied) with the new dishwasher.
