DRAINAGE OPTION 1 – Dishwasher and Ø 1-1/2” (38 mm) Standpipe

IMPORTANT
Ensure that drain hose is installed as close to the underside of the countertop as possible. This will ensure no waste re-enters the drain hose in the event of poor flow or a blockage in the plumbing.
Ensure the drain hose does not extend into water retained in the trap; an air gap is required to prevent waste water from siphoning back into the tub.

IMPORTANT
Ensure that drain connection
will comply with local plumbing regulations.

OPTIONAL – UNDER SINK INSTALLATION

UNDER SINK REQUIREMENTS AND DIMENSIONS
Under sink installation requires a base for the dishwasher drawer to rest on and be mounted to. It also requires side walls to be mounted to and a top filler face board of 10-1/4“ Min. The base height can match your toekick height. If that is less than 6-1/16”, the 10-1/4 “ filler face board will need to be increased by the same amount.
For example, if your toekick is a standard 4” height, the base would be built to 4” tall and
to the face of the toekick. Then the filler face board would be 12-5/16”. This lowers the dishwasher drawer slightly, but this would be a simple installation.

The rough cabinet opening must be at least 24” deep, 24” wide and approx. 34-1/4” ± 1/4” height.
This dishwasher fits under a special sink with a depth of 6” or less in a 1-1/2” countertop.
The dishwasher must be installed so that drain hose is no more than 10’ in length for proper drainage.
The dishwasher must be fully enclosed on the top, sides and back, and must not support any part of the enclosure.
The back wall should be free of pipes or wires.

ELECTRIAL CONNECTIONS TO DISHWASHER

Electrical connection strain relief hole is on the rear left side of the dishwasher.
For direct connections, the cable must be routed as shown in the first section “HARDWIRING PRIOR TO INSTALLATION”.
For power cord connections, install a 3-prong grounding type receptacle in the rear wall of the cabinet next to the dishwasher. The receptacle should be installed at least 6”, but not more than 18” from the dishwasher cabinet.
Water line to sink faucet and drain from sink can be run through Area “A.”
Hot water line to dishwasher is installed in Area “B.”
Garbage disposer, water lines to faucet, waste trap, air gap and water shut-off valve are installed in a 12” wide cabinet, Area “C”.
Sink opening for garbage disposer must be dimensioned as shown (7-1/2”) in Area “C.” This will provide clearance for disposer and plumbing in Area “C” when using either single or double bowl sink.
Adjacent cabinets should be square and plumb to
ensure a good fit.
NOTE: A gap between the dishwasher front and the 5-3/4″Max. B front of the base cabinet may result due to either the cabinet being less than 24” deep or the sink bowl not being installed to specifications. If the gap is more than 3/4”, the sink bowl must be relocated to meet specified dimensions.

UNDER SINK UTILITY CONNECTIONS

Sink faucet hot and cold water lines and the sink drain line must run above and adjacent to the dishwasher, not behind it. Refer to Areas A and C in Figure A on page 3 and Figure F1 below. This is necessary to provide clearance for the dishwasher when it is installed in the cabinet. Utility lines routed directly behind the dishwasher will interfere with placement of the dishwasher in the cabinet and cause it to extend beyond the adjacent cabinets.
Figure illustrates an installation using a single bowl sink.
Figure illustrates an installation using a double bowl sink, a disposer and a high drain loop.
Refer to this Installation Instructions for fill, drain and electrical connections.
