WARNING
This dishwasher comes with a heating element to heat the water. To avoid the risk of a serious burn, don’t touch the heating element when the dishwasher is on.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire, or injury to persons, the installer must ensure that the dishwasher is completely enclosed at the time of installation.

FOR YOUR SAFETY
Read and observe all CAUTIONS and WARNINGS shown throughout these instructions. While performing installations described in this booklet, gloves and safety glasses or goggles should be worn. Basic precautions before use:

• Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
• NOTE: This Installation Manual does not cover every possible condition and situation that may occur.
• Use the dishwasher only for the intended functions as described in this Installation Manual.
• To ensure the longevity of the dishwasher’s optimal wash performance, we recommend rinsing off any large pieces of food from your dishes prior to placing them in the unit for a wash cycle.
• When loading items to be washed:
  • Load sharp items and knives so that they are not likely to damage the door seal, racks, spray arms, and tub.
  • Load sharp items and knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of being cut or suffering other injury.
• Do not wash plastic items (e.g. plastic tableware or Tupperware) unless they are marked dishwasher-safe or the equivalent. If not marked, check with the manufacturer for recommendation — items that are not dishwasher-safe may melt and create a potential fire hazard.
• If the dishwasher drains into a garbage disposal, make sure disposal is completely empty before running dishwasher.
• Do not tamper with the control panel on the dishwasher.
• Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
• Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use, especially if the sanitize option has been selected.
• Do not let children abuse, sit, or stand on the door or racks of the dishwasher, and do not allow children to tamper with the spray arms, baskets, or other elements inside the unit. Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline, or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep them out of the reach of children and pets.
• Some dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline. They can be extremely dangerous if swallowed. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes and keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
• If your home’s hot water system has not been used for a period of time, before using the dishwasher again, let the water flow for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is flammable. Do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
• Keep young children and infants away from dishwasher when it is operating.
• Do not use the dishwasher if it has a damaged power line or plug, and do not plug the dishwasher into a damaged outlet; failure to observe these instructions may result in electrical shock.
• Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on a dishwasher.

PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES

• When installing a ZLINE door panel (see details on page 15), the depth of each unit including the panel is 25 3/16″ (640 mm). The depth of each unit including the panel and handle is 27″ (689 mm). Depths may vary if you install a custom panel.
• Minimum and maximum heights take into account the legs, which can be extended by roughly 1 1/4″ (32 mm).
• The dishwasher must be installed so the drain hose is no more than 10′ (3048 mm) in length for proper drainage.

ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
This dishwasher is designed to be enclosed on the top and on both sides within a standard residential kitchen cabinet unit. The installation enclosure must be clean and free of any obstructions. Below are the minimum recommended cabinet cut-out dimensions based on the panel ready specifications provided on page 6:

PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES

• For depth, please note the recommended 25″ (635 mm) is larger than a standard 24″ (610 mm) depth cabinet due to the depth of the unit itself being slightly larger.
• In order for the door panel of the dishwasher to be flush with the leading edge of the counter top, the counter top must be at least 25 3/16″ (640 mm) deep. This depth may vary if you install a custom door panel.
• 34″ (867 mm) is the minimum height based on legs being at their lowest setting.
• If installing into a corner, allow 2″ (51 mm) minimum clearance between the dishwasher and adjacent cabinet, wall or other appliances. Allow 23 5/8″ (600 mm) minimum clearance from the front of the dishwasher for opening the door, as shown below.

DRAIN REQUIREMENTS

• Follow all local codes and ordinances.
• Do not exceed 10’ (3048 mm) of drain hose.
• Do not connect the drain lines from other devices to the dishwasher drain hose.
• The dishwasher must be connected to a waste line with an air gap (not provided) or a minimum 32″ (813 mm) high drain loop, depending on local codes and ordinances, to prevent back flow into the dishwasher.
• An air gap must be used if the waste tee or garbage disposal connection is less than 18″ (457 mm) above the floor, to prevent siphoning.

DRAIN PREPARATION
NOTE: The type of drain installation depends on answers to the following questions:

• Do local codes or ordinances require an air gap?
• Will the waste tee or garbage disposal connection be less than 18″ (457 mm) above the floor?
• Will installation have a drain loop less than 32″ (813 mm) above the floor?

• Check the door alignment with the tub. If the door hits the tub, level the dishwasher. See “Step 8: Level The Dishwasher” on page 25.
• Check the door alignment with the cabinet. If the door hits the cabinet, reposition or re-level the dishwasher. See “Step 8: Level The Dishwasher” on page 25.
• Pull the lower rack out about half way. Make sure that it does not roll back or forward on the door. If the rack moves, adjust the leveling legs. See “Step 8: Level The Dishwasher” on page 25.
• Make sure that water supply and drain lines are not kinked or in contact with other components. Any contact with the motor or dishwasher frame could cause a noise. See “Step 10: Slide The Dishwasher Partially Into The Cabinet” on page 28.
• Turn on the sink’s hot water faucet and verify the water temperature. Incoming water temperature must be between 120°F and 150°F (49°C and 65°C). A minimum of 120°F (49°C) temperature is required for best wash performance. See “Preparing The Hot Water Line” on page 13.
• Add a half gallon of water to the bottom of the dishwasher to lubricate the pump seal upon first use.
• Turn on the water supply. Check for leaks. Tighten connections if needed.
• Remove any protective film (if present) from the control panel and door.

STEP 16: WET TESTING THE DISHWASHER

1. Turn on the power supply (or plug the power cord into the outlet).
2. Select rinse cycle on dishwasher (refer to the User Manual for instructions).
3. Press START/CANCEL and close door.
4. Make sure that water enters the dishwasher. If water does not enter the dishwasher, check to be sure that water and power are turned on.
5. Check for leaks under the dishwasher. If a leak is found, turn the power supply off, then tighten connections. Restore power after the leak is corrected. Then repeat test, starting at step 1.
6. Check for leaks around the door. A leak around the door could be caused by the door rubbing or hitting against adjacent cabinetry. Reposition the dishwasher if necessary. Refer to “Step 11: Position The Dishwasher Under The Countertop” on page 28 for assistance.
7. When the dishwasher is draining, check the drain lines for leaks. If leaks are found, turn off the power supply and correct plumbing as necessary.
8. Restore the power after corrections are made. See “Step 13: Connecting The Water Supply Line” on page 31.
9. Run the dishwasher through another fill and drain cycle. Check for leaks and correct if required.
10. Open the dishwasher door and make sure that most of the water has drained. If not, check that the disposer plug has been removed and/or the air gap is not restricted. See “Step 14: Connecting the drain hose” on page 32. Also check the drain line for kinking.*

NOTE: When checking for water, there should be no standing water in the bottom of the tub, but there will be water in the sump system underneath the filter. This is normal and is to keep the seals and system from drying out and causing leaks. The water that is left in the sump is clean water that has not been used to clean dishes.
