Tools and Parts Needed
Gather these tools and additional parts before beginning the installation of your appliance.

Pre-install Checklist
Ensure that the following requirements are met when planning the installation of your appliance.
WARNING Avoid Scalding or Electric Shock Hazard

Make sure the water supply and electrical supply are shut off before installation or service.
Do not allow the electrical and supply lines to touch.
Select a location as close to the sink as possible for easy access to the water supply and drain lines.
Be sure the unit is installed close enough to the sink so the drain hose length does not exceed 92″ (2337 mm) and so that a portion of the drain hose is raised at least 33″ above the floor level.
Ensure that the enclosure is square and the opening is at least 34 1/8″ (867 mm) high and 23 5/8″ (600 mm) wide.
Check that the opening in the cabinet is large enough for routing the electric cable, water line, and drain hose, and if not, create a new opening. See → “Installation Preparation”
If the opening is wood, be sure it is sanded smooth. If it is metal, be sure it is covered by a protective gasket.
Be sure that your water heater set at 120° F (49° C) and the water pressure measures at 15-145 psi (1-10\ bar)
Determine the mounting method based on the dishwasher model and counter-top type. See → “Mounting Brackets”, Page 8 .
Only use the included hardware for the installation. If you are replacing a dishwasher, dispose of the old hose and other equipment properly.
To avoid scratching the floor, have floor protection ready for when the dishwasher will be slid into the cabinet.

Cabinet Requirements
Ensure that the cabinet space for the installation meets the required dimensions.

If the dishwasher is to be installed in a corner, ensure that there is adequate clearance to open the door as shown.

Installation Preparation

Installation PreparationAfter locating the proper place for your dishwasher, create an opening to allow for water, drain, and electrical lines on the appropriate side.

Cut a rectangular hole 2.5″ x 3.5″ in the rear corner on the sink-facing side. If the opening is made through wood, sand it smooth. If the opening is made through metal, use the Edge Protector with Power Cord clips Kit SMZEPCC1UC
Remove the rubber apron from the top of the dishwasher.1
Remove the hose clip from the back of the dishwasher.

It can be used later to hold the drain hose inside your cabinet.

Installation Procedure

Installation ProcedureFollow these instructions to install the dishwasher.
Pre-level the Dishwasher
Set the dishwasher to the correct height before it goes into the cabinet.

Measure the height of the cabinet opening.
Raise the front of the dishwasher to approximately 1/2″ lower than the height of the opening by turning the feet clockwise. You can raise the rear foot after the unit is in the cabinet opening.
Use a level on the top front to see that both feet are even.

4.2 Attach Power Cord

Plug the end of the supply cord into the back of the dishwasher.
Be sure to push it all the way in until fully seated.
The outlet for the power supply cord should be located in a cabinet or wall adjacent to the dishwasher cabinet. Do not plug the dishwasher into the wall outlet until all the steps of the installation are complete

Notes

If you require a permanent wiring connection, order a kit junction box accessory kit SMZPCJB1UC.
If local electrical codes require clips to secure the power cord wire to the dishwasher, use accessory kit SMZEPCC1UC.

Mounting Brackets

Before installing the supplied mounting brackets, decide which method of securing the dishwasher into its enclosure will be used, top (wood or porous material) or\ side (stone or solid surface). Once the mounting brackets are installed on the dishwasher, removing them is difficult and will damage the mounting brackets and the dishwasher. If you have a Fully Integrated Panel, do not attach mounting brackets until after attaching the panel to the door.

WARNING
Avoid tip over-hazard

Do not use the dishwasher until it is completely installed. When opening the door on an uninstalled dishwasher, carefully open the door while supporting the rear of the unit. Failure to follow this warning can result in serious injury.

Top and Side Mount
For openings wider than 23 5/8″ (600 mm), use the metal mounting brackets. Top mount is for wood or other materials that can easily be drilled into. The side mount is for stone countertops or another hard material that cannot easily be drilled. Both use the same mounting brackets, but the difference is the screw placement

Orient the mounting brackets as shown and position the tabs into openings on the dishwasher’s front corners.
For side mount, bend the brackets down at the perforation.

Side Mount Force Distributor
The side mount force distributors are for cabinet openings that are 23 5/8″.

Insert a side mount force distributor into the opening in each side. Make sure it is flush with the dishwasher

Attaching the Apron1

Remove the tape covering adhesive strip on the rubber apron
Adhere the apron to the front of the dishwasher

Install Dishwasher in Cabinet Space
To avoid scratching the floor, use floor protection and caution when sliding the dishwasher into the cabinet.
NOTICE:
Avoid Hose Kinks

* Be careful while pushing the dishwasher in. The hoses can fold, kink or break, potentially causing an obstruction or leak.

Feed the power cord and hoses through the low hole in the cabinet.
Carefully and slowly push the dishwasher into the cabinet space.
Reach into adjacent cabinet and pull hoses and excess power cords through completely so they do not get kinked.
Finally, push the unit in until flush with cabinet door
Center the dishwasher in the opening

Level the Dishwasher
Now that the dishwasher is in the cabinet, check the levels again.

Level side to side by turning feet clockwise to raise or counter-clockwise to lower front.
Level front to back by turning the center screw clockwise to raise or counter-clockwise to lower the back.
Use a level to check that your dishwasher is level.
Ensure that the countertop is level and adjust the dishwasher to the countertop.
Make sure the top of the door is no less than 1/4″ (6 mm) from the underside of the counter.

Outer Door Assembly1

Follow the instructions for outer door assembly on the fully integrated template

Secure Top and Side Mount

For top mount, drive the mounting screws through the holes in the bracket into the countertop.
For side mount, drive the mounting screws through the holes in the sides of the cabinetry
If using the force distributor side mounts, first remove the cutlery rack.1
Drive the mounting screws through the holes inside the dishwasher
Re-insert the cutlery rack

Attach the 2-part Toe Panel

If your dishwasher has a rubber apron, install the 2-part toe panel behind the apron.
Place the slotted toe panel on the dishwasher.
It should rest on the floor.
Position the mating front toe panel on top of the rear toe panel with the angled edge on the mating edge of the dishwasher.
To secure the toe panels, drive the two black torx
screws through the holes in the toe panel and the dishwasher base.
To avoid damaging the dishwasher, use the supplied screws

Attach the Outer Toe Panel
NOTICE:
Avoid door interference

To ensure the door can open and close without any interference, check the clearance when installing the outer toe panel

Slide the supplied brackets into the slots of the toe panel you just attached
To ensure that the outer toe panel is flush with the cabinetry base, determine the correct position for the\ brackets.
Mark the correct position, then slide the brackets out and bend out the metal tab at the correct position. Bending a tab ensures that the toe panel cannot slide in further.
Re-insert the brackets.
Secure the outer toe panel with the crosshead screws provided.
The outer toe panel should completely cover the rubber apron
To cover the screw heads, use the black plastic caps.

Dishwasher Connection

Dishwasher ConnectionFollow these instructions to connect the dishwasher

Installing the Water Inlet Connection
The hot water heater should be set to deliver approximately 120 °F (49 °C) [max. 140 °F/ (60 °C)] water to the dishwasher. Water that is too hot can cause some detergents to lose effectiveness. Lower water temperatures will increase run times. The hot water supply pressure must be between 7.25 – 145 psi (0.5 – 10 bar).
