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" (51 mm) minimum clearance between 

the side of the dishwasher door and the wall or cabinet.

 

Easy access to water, electricity, and drain:

 

Grounded electrical supply is required.

 

This dishwasher has a water heating feature and also 

requires a connection to a hot water supply line.

 

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.

 

If installed in new construction, flush the water supply line 

of debris before connecting it to the fill valve. If it is not 

flushed, debris from the water supply could plug the fill 

valve screen.

 

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.
