Location Requirements

Dishwasher must be fully enclosed (top, sides, back, and floor) 
upon installation. A side panel kit is available from your dealer for 
installing your dishwasher at the end of your cabinetry. 
An optional moisture barrier accessory is also available for 
installing underneath a wooden countertop. See the “Tools and 
Parts” section at the front of the guide for part details and orders.
Check location where dishwasher will be installed. The location 
must provide:

Convenient access for loading and unloading dishes. Corner 
locations require a 2" (5.1 cm) minimum clearance between 
the side of the dishwasher door and the wall or cabinet. 

Easy access to water, electricity and drain. 

Grounded electrical supply required.

Make sure pipes, wires and drain hose are within the 
shaded area shown in the “Product and Cabinet Opening 
Dimensions” section.

Do not run drain lines, water lines or electrical wiring 
where they can interfere with or contact dishwasher motor 
or legs.

Shelter dishwasher and water lines leading to dishwasher 
against freezing. Damage from freezing is not covered by 
the warranty.

NOTE: If dishwasher will be left unused for a period of time or 
in a location where it may be subject to freezing, have it 
winterized by authorized service personnel.

A square opening for proper operation and appearance.

The cabinet front to be perpendicular to floor.

A level floor. 
Helpful Hint: If floor at front of opening is not level with floor at 
rear of opening, shims may be used to level dishwasher. 
NOTE: To avoid shifting during dishwasher operation, shims 
must be securely attached to the floor.

The location where the dishwasher will be installed must 
provide clearance between motor and flooring. Motor should 
not touch the floor.

Do not install dishwasher over carpeted flooring.
