LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

Do not run drain lines, water lines or electrical wiring where they
can interfere with or contact dishwasher motors or legs.
The dishwasher installation location must provide clearance
between motors and flooring. Motors should not touch the floor.
Do not install dishwasher over carpeted flooring.
Protect dishwasher and the water lines leading to dishwasher
against freezing. Damage from freezing is not covered by the
warranty.
Check dishwasher installation location. The location must provide:
Easy access to water, electricity, and drain.

Full enclosure on both sides, back, and top.
Square opening for proper operation and appearance.
Cabinet front perpendicular to floor.
Level floor. (If floor at front of opening is not level with floor
at rear of opening, shims may be needed to level dishwasher.)
NOTE: To prevent shifting during dishwasher operation, shims
must be securely attached to the floor.
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.
Make sure pipes, wires, and drain hose are within the area shown
in the "Cutout dimensions" section.
Helpful Tip: If the floor in the dishwasher opening is uneven,
(example: tile flooring only partway into opening) you will need
to take special care in measuring dimensions and in leveling
dishwasher.

DRAIN REQUIREMENTS

is not long enough, use a new drain hose with a maximum
length of 9.8 ft (3 m) from the sink that meets all current AHAM/
IAPMO test standards, is resistant to heat and detergent.
Connect drain hose to waste tee or disposer inlet above the
drain trap in the house plumbing and 20" (50.8 cm) minimum
above the floor. It is recommended that the drain hose be
either looped up and securely fastened to the underside of the
counter, or be connected to an air gap.
Use an air gap if the drain hose is connected to house
plumbing lower than 18" (45.7 cm) above the floor.
