Kickplate Assembly

   junction box on right underside of unit behind kickplate
   assembly.  See Figure 5. Determine where you will connect
   to hot water supply.  Review Figure 5 and note the location of
   water inlet valve. Determine where you will connect the drain
   hose.

3.   Cut access holes for the Electrical, Water and Drain hoses in the

shaded areas as shown in Figure 2.

4.

The dishwasher operates on a 120 volt, 60 Hz electrical supply.
Provide a separate circuit with a fuse or circuit breaker rated for
at least 15 amps (20 amps if connected with disposer) but not
more than 20 amps.

5.

Pull electrical cable through hole into installation area.

6.

Be sure water inlet valve is protected from freezing. If valve
freezes and ruptures, flooding may occur.

7.

Determine amount of tubing needed to connect hot water supply
to the unit’s water inlet valve.  Extra hose length is necessary.
High-pressure and high-temperature Stainless Flexible hose with
a minimum inner diameter of  1/4” may be used. A shut-off valve
installed outside dishwasher cabinet is best.

8.

Route water supply line into installation area.

9.   Stand dishwasher back upright for further installation.

IMPORTANT:

Incoming hot water temperature should be at

least 120°F (49°C).  Water pressure should be between
20–90 psi.
