Water
Requirements
The hot water line to the dishwasher
must provide between 15 -120 psi water
pressure. The hot water heater should be
set to deliver 140®F water temperature
to the dishwasher for best results.
Use 3/8" O.D. copper tubing or 1 /2"
plastic tubing minimum inlet line.
Dishwasher inlet valve has 3/8" N.P.T.
internal pipe thread.
Drain
Requirements
The drain hose MUST
have a high drain loop,
20" minimum ABOVE
FLOOR, to prevent
backflow or water
siphoning out of
dishwasher during
operation.
NOTE: An air gap MUST BE USED in
the high drain loop if the drain hose
is connected to house plumbing lower
than 20" above the floor.
Drain hose, supplied, meets AHAM DW-1
test standards. Cut 1-1/2" hole in
cabinet wall for drain hose. Additional
drain line (a minimum of 1/2" I.D. and no
longer than 20‘) can be used if needed.
Now start...
with dishwasher in kitchen.

injury or death.
"T ■ Cut a 1 -1 /2" maximum hole for
power supply cord or a 3/4" minimum
hole for direct wiring in the cabinet or
floor for the electrical wiring to pass
through. If this hole is cut in a wood
cabinet, sand the hole until it is smooth.
If the hole is cut in a metal cabinet, the
hole
must
be covered by a grommet
(Part No. 302797), available from your
dealer or parts supplier,
Install wall receptacle on rear or side
wall of a cabinet next to dishwasher
opening as indicated by the shaded
areas shown. Plug dishwasher power
supply cord into this receptacle.
For direct wiring install a 3/4" U. L,-listed
conduit connector to connect the
flexible armored or non-metallic
sheathed, copper cable (with
grounding wire) to the fused
disconnect, circuit breaker or junction
box. Run the cable through the hole in
the cabinet opening. The cable should
extend 24" from the back wall.

over connector. Push drain hose onto
connector. Use pliers to open clamp
and slide clamp over drain hose and

connector.
To minimize noise and vibration, route
drain hose to avoid contact with door
springs, motor, water line, cabinet or
flooring. Do Not run drain hose over top
of tub.
