Preparing the dishwasher enclosure

PRODUCT DIMENSIONS

ENCLOSURE DIMENSIONS

NOTE: This dishwasher is designed to be enclosed on the top and on both sides by a standard residential kitchen cabinet unit.

The installation enclosure must be clean and free of any obstructions.

The enclosure must be at least 24 inches wide, 24 inches deep, and 34 1/8 inches high.

For the front door of the dishwasher to be fl ush with the leading edge of the counter top, the counter top must be at least 25 inches deep.

Installing the dishwasher

Be sure that you or your installer follow these instructions closely so that the new dishwasher works properly and that you’re not at risk of injury when washing dishes.

STEP 1 CHECK THE PARTS AND TOOLS

Before starting on the installation, prepare all the necessary tools and parts required to install the dishwasher. This will save installation time and simplify the installation process.

Parts required

Provided with the dishwasher. Check when you unbox the dishwasher in Step 5.

NOTE: For the hot water supply line – We strongly recommend using 3/8” minimum O.D. copper tubing with a compression fitting or a flexible stainless steel braided hot water supply line. [Warning: Do not use plastic tubing. Plastic tubing can deteriorate over time and cause a leak inside the tube fitting.]

Tools required

New installation

If the dishwasher is a new installation, most of the installation work must be done before the dishwasher is moved into place.

Replacement

If the dishwasher is replacing an old dishwasher, you must check the exising dishwasher connections for compatibility with the new dishwasher. Repace the existing connections as necessary.

STEP 2 SELECT THE BEST LOCATION FOR THE DISHWASHER

The following criteria are important to ensure the best location for the dishwasher:

• The location must have a solid floor that is able to support the weight of the dishwasher.
• The location must be near a sink with easy access to the water supply, drain, and electrical outlet.

NOTE: For the drain to operate properly, the dishwasher should be installed within 9.8 ft (3 m) of the sink.

• The location must let you load your dishes into the dishwasher easily.
• The location must have sufficient space for the dishwasher door to open easily and provide enough space between the dishwasher and the cabinet sides (at least 0.1 in (2 mm)).

NOTE: If the dishwasher is installed in a corner, ensure that the side of the dishwasher is more than 2 in. (50 mm) from the wall or cabinet to its right or left.

- The wall at the back must be free of obstructions.

If this is a new installation, follow these steps:

1. Using a 2 1⁄2 inch hole saw, cut a hole into the side of the cabinet that holds the sink as shown in Figure 1 below.
2. If the base inside the sink cabinet is raised above the kitchen floor and is higher than the connections on the dishwasher, make a hole in the base inside the cabinet and in the cabinet side as shown in Figure 1-2.

NOTE: Depending on where your electrical outlet is, you may need to cut a hole in the opposite cabinet side.

STEP 3 CHECK WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS AND CAUTIONS

• The hot water supply line pressure must be between 20~120 psi (140~830 kPa).
• Adjust the water heater to deliver water between 120 ̊F (49 ̊C) ~ 149 ̊F (65 ̊C).

STEP 4 CHECK THE ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND CAUTIONS

The electrical requirements for the dishwasher are as follows:

• In the United States, install in accordance with the National Electric Code/State and Municipal codes and/or local codes.
• In Canada, install in accordance with the Canadian Electric Code C22.1-latest edition/Provincial and Municipal codes and/or local codes.
• For cable direct connections.

- Use flexible, armored or non-metallic sheathed, copper wire with a grounding wire that meets the wiring requirements for your local codes and ordinances.

- Use the strain relief method provided with the wiring junction box or install a U.L.-listed/CSA-certifi ed clamp connector to the wiring junction box. If using conduit, use a U.L.-listed/CSA-certifi ed conduit connector.

• For power cord connections

- The power supply cord must plug into a mating three prong, grounded outlet, located in the cabinet next to the dishwasher opening. The outlet must meet your local codes and ordinances. Use a U.L.- listed/CSA-certified power cord kit.

STEP 5 UNPACKING AND INSPECTING THE DISHWASHER

Unbox the dishwasher in an open area free of obstruction both around the carton and overhead. We recommend that you retain the carton and all of the packing materials until the dishwasher is fully installed and operational to ensure you have removed all the product’s components from the carton prior to disposal.

Unboxing

1. Position the carton right-side-up with top arrows pointing upwards.

2. Unbuckle or cut the four straps securing the carton top.

3. Lift the top of the telescoping carton clear of the carton tray and the contents, and then turn it over and place it on the fl oor.

4. Put the straps and all of the packing materials from around the dishwasher inside the carton top, inspecting them for any signs of damage.

5. Locate and set aside the dishwasher's kick plate. The Kick plate is attached to packing material of the dishwasher.

6. Lift the dishwasher from the carton tray, and then place it on the fl oor. Put the tray into the carton top

7. Remove the bag that protects the dishwasher during shipping.

CAUTION: ALWAYS LIFT THE Dishwasher TO MOVE IT. Sliding it over rough surfaces can damage the dishwasher’s feet and sliding the feet over fi nished surfaces can, in some cases, damage that fi nish or the underlying surface.

8. There is also packing inside the dishwasher that you may want to leave in place until the dishwasher is installed.

9. DO NOT, under any circumstances, remove the sound-absorbent padding that surrounds the exterior of the tub of the dishwasher.

Inspecting

Mechanical

1. Check the plastic base assembly to ensure that it is intact
2. Check the dishwasher’s feet to ensure they are in place and can be adjusted so you can level and secure the dishwasher.
3. Check all the visible components on the bottom of the dishwasher to ensure they are intact and secure.
4. Check the door latch, the operation of the hinges, and confi rm the door is properly secured to the dishwasher.

Plumbing

1. Check the hot water connection on the left-side of the base of the dishwasher.
2. The mounting plate should be secured to the front of the base, the threads inside the connection should be smooth and shiny, and the area should be clean and free of any debris.
3. Check the plastic Brake and Sensor cases to ensure these assemblies are not cracked and that all connections are secure.
4. Check the drain hose for any holes or deformities that could allow a water leak during draining.

Electrical

1. Confirm the junction box cover is secured to the junction box on the front right-side of the base of the dishwasher.
2. Confirm the electrical box was not damaged during shipping and that it is secured to the base of the dishwasher.

3. Check the control panel to ensure it is clear and unscratched, and that all the control markers are in their proper places.

Parts

1. Confirm you have all the parts listed in Step 1 on page 6.

STEP 6 PREPARING THE DISHWASHER

1. Ensure that the circuit breaker and water supply valve are turned off before proceeding with the following steps.

CAUTION: Before you move or lay down the dishwasher for installation, make sure to adjust the height of the legs so the legs are as short as possible. This prevents the legs from breaking. Level the dishwasher by adjusting the height of the legs after you have the dishwasher in place.

2. Cut the strings securing the drain hose to the back of the dishwasher. Roll-out the hose. Make sure there are no kinks and that the hose is not bent at any extreme angles that could constrict the fl ow of water.

3. Remove the junction box cover located at the bottom front right of the dishwasher using a screwdriver, and then Install the strain relief (Figure 4 - C). Make sure to keep the junction box cover you removed. It is used in Step 10, Wiring Connections.

4. If the countertop is made of wood or a material that is not damaged by drilling, attach the two (2) Installation brackets that were supplied with the dishwasher using the supplied screws (Figure 4 - A). They will be used in Step 8, Securing the Dishwasher.

STEP 7 PLACING THE DISHWASHER AND CONNECTING THE HOT WATER SUPPLY LINE

1. Adjust the three leveling legs at the bottom of the dishwasher after measuring the height of the cabinet opening from under the countertop to the fl oor. (See Step 8, Leveling the Dishwasher.)

2. Locate the hot water supply line and the power cable.

3. Place the dishwasher so that the power cable is in the right channel of the base of the dishwasher. Use standard duct tape or cable ties to secure the electrical cable to their adjacent channels in the base. This can prevent the electrical cable from being squeezed when you push the dishwasher into place.

4. Pull the drain hose through the hole in the sink cabinet side wall. Keep it free of kinks.

5. Make sure the hot water supply line is not twisted, and then connect the hot water supply line to the elbow joint.

6. Slide the dishwasher carefully into the installation space. If possible, gently pull any excess lengths of water supply line, drain hose, or power cable back as you move the dishwasher. Get a second or third person to help you do this if necessary.

CAUTION: Do not place the dishwasher on the water supply line, drain hose, or power cable. Also, make sure they are not folded or twisted.

STEP 8 LEVELING THE DISHWASHER

NOTE: If the leveling legs are rotated to the right (counter clockwise), they are loosened and the front of the dishwasher is raised. If they are rotated to the left clockwise), they are tightened and the front of the dishwasher is lowered.

NOTE: To adjust the height of a rear leg, turn the Hexbolt (at the front of the base) to the left to raise the back of the dishwasher using the proper tool (Hex L-wrench or similar tool).

CAUTION:

• Before you move the dishwasher for installation, make sure to adjust the height of the legs so the legs are as short as possible. This prevents the legs from breaking. Level the dishwasher by adjusting the height of the legs after you have the dishwasher in place.
• The dishwasher can leak if it’s tilted by more than 1 degree.

STEP 9 SECURING THE DISHWASHER

You must fi x the dishwasher to the countertop or cabinet side walls for additional stability and safety.

1. If the countertop is made of wood or the material will not be damaged by drilling, follow the instructions in 2-1 below. If the countertop is made of granite, marble, or any other material that can be damaged by drilling, follow the instructions in 2-2 below.

2-1. If the installation brackets on the front of the dishwasher extend cut them down using a nipper as shown in Figure 8 on the next page. Put a large towel into the bottom of the dishwasher to prevent wood shavings or a dropped screw from falling into the dishwasher. Carefully drill screw holes into the counter top bottom by passing the drill bit through a screw hole in each bracket, and then drilling into the counter top bottom beneath. Make sure the hole you drill is smaller than the diameter of the screw. Insert the provided screws into the brackets, and then tighten to secure the dishwasher to the counter top.

2-2. Put a large towel into the bottom of the dishwasher to prevent wood shavings or a dropped screw from falling into the dishwasher. Remove the tub spacer caps with the tip of a screwdriver. The caps are just inside the tub near the top of the tub on both sides (Figure 9 on the next page). Drill a hole into the sides of the kitchen cabinet on both sides by carefully passing a drill bit through the screw holes exposed by the removal of the spacer caps, and then drilling into the cabinet side beneath. Make sure the hole you drill is smaller than the diameter of the screw. Also make sure the drill bit does not strike the sides of the spacer cap holes. Insert the provided screws into the holes, and then tighten to secure the dishwasher to the cabinet. Make sure the tub is not distorted by pressure from the screws. If the tub is distorted, loosen the screws a little. Replace the tub spacer caps.

• The screws or tub spacer cap may fall into the dishwasher while you are working with the door open. Cover the interior of the dishwasher with a towel to prevent any screws from falling into the dishwasher. If any foreign items such as a screw get into the dishwasher, it may cause noise, an abnormal operation, damage, or a malfunction.
• Use a magnetic screwdriver to help prevent screws from falling into the dishwasher.
• If a foreign item such as a screw gets into the dishwasher and you are unable to remove it, the dishwasher needs to be disassembled. Contact a qualified service technician for this.

STEP 10 CONNECTING THE DRAIN HOSE

1. Check the parts on the sink to which the drain hose will be connected.

2. There are several ways to insert the drain hose into the drain hose connector of the sink, as shown in the following figures. You must connect the drain hose in accordance with the water pipe installation regulations in your region.

3. Check the size of the sink’s drain hose connector. If needed, cut the drain hose so its end fits onto the sink connector (1⁄2 in., 3⁄4 in. or 1 in. - as shown in Figure 11 below). If the end of the drain hose does not fi t onto the drain hose connector of the sink, use an adaptor purchasable at a plumbing/hardware supply store.

4. Slide a hose clamp over the end of the drain hose. Attach the drain hose to the sink connector, slide the hose clamp to the end of the hose, and then tighten the hose clamp. Note : You must use a hose clamp. Failure to do so may cause water leakage.

5. If there is no air gap, make sure to hang. the middle of the drain hose well above the sink cabinet base to prevent backflow (see Figure 13 below).

6. When drilling a hole for the drain hose on the cabinet wall, take caution not to damage the drain hose by sharp edges of the hole. On wooden walls, use sanding to soften the edges. On metal walls, use insulation tape or duct tape to cover the sharp edges around the hole.

7. Take caution not the damage the drain hose when installing the dishwasher on the fl oor, wall, or cabinet.

NOTE: To prevent leaks or drainage problems, make sure the drain hose is not damaged, kinked, or twisted.

8. Do not cut the wrinkled area of the drain hose to fi t the size. When arranging the drain hose, take caution not to contact on sharp edges of the cabinet or under-sink.

CAUTION:

• Be careful when cutting off the end of the drain hose as there is a risk of injury. Clean around the sink’s drain connection so that it does not damage the hose. Check for any foreign items in the drain hose and remove them.
• When arranging the drain hose, make sure the drain hose is not cut, torn, or broken by any sharp edges of the floor, the product itself, or the cabinet. A damaged drain hose causes a leak.

STEP 11 WIRING CONNECTIONS
