Recycling
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
To avoid risk of injury, always use caution when opening the door during or
following a wash cycle, as hot water or steam may escape.
• Do not store or use flammable liquids or vapors in the immediate surrounding area of the
dishwasher or on the appliance.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot-water system that has
not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot-water
system has not been used for such a period, before using the dishwasher, turn on all
hot-water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release
any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open
flame during this time.
• Please check the water supply line periodically. It is susceptible to breakage. It becomes
less flexible as time goes by. Replace it immediately when it is torn, cut, swollen, or if
there is water leakage.
• Please keep the dishwasher packaging out of the reach of children after unpacking it.
RECYCLING
• Old appliances may contain materials that can be recycled. Please contact the local
recycling authority about the possibility of recycling these materials.
• Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from
service or discarding it. Ensure that the appliance presents no danger to children while
being stored for disposal. Before disposing the dishwasher:
• Disconnect the appliance from the main supply.
• Cut off the main cable and discard it.
• Remove the door catch to prevent children and pets from getting trapped in
the appliance.

Electric Shock Hazard
BEFORE INSTALLATION
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
• Connect the dishwasher to a properly rated, protected, and sized power supply circuit
to avoid electrical overload.
• The dishwasher is designed for a 120 VAC/60Hz electrical supply connected to a
dishwasher-de dicated, properly grounded, electrical circuit with a fuse or breakers
rated for 15 amperes.
• Do not use any extension cord or portable outlet device to connect the dishwasher to a
power supply. Using an extension cord may void the warranty.
• This appliance must be electrically grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for
electric current.
• This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and
a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
• The manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage to property or to persons
caused by incorrect installation, improper use of the appliance, or failure to heed the
warnings listed.
• IMPORTANT: The installer should leave these instructions with the consumer who should
retain for local inspectors’ use and for future reference.
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if
there is doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the

Adjusting Height
ADJUSTING HEIGHT
1. Before the dishwasher is placed into the cabinetry, the two front legs will be completely
retracted. Adjust the legs by turning in the direction of the black arrows (noted below) with a
flathead screwdriver to allow for the unit to move downwards.
2. For the back leg, using a Phillips screwdriver, turn the height adjustment screw in the middle of
the lower front panel as shown in the image. Turning counter-clockwise (in the direction of the
black arrow) will lower the rear dishwasher leg, and turning clockwise will raise the rear leg.
3. Once the front two legs and rear leg are lowered, move the dishwasher into the cabinetry
and adjust the legs as necessary to balance and raise the dishwasher to the enclosure height.
4. Make sure the dishwasher is plumb with the countertop above.
• NOTE: When engaging the rear leg adjustment screw, if it doesn't move, hold and pull the
leg with your free hand (or use a helper) to loosen the leg before installing.
DWV-18 MODEL
If height of the enclosure is 32 1/8" (816 mm) to 34 1/8" (867 mm), use the short leg supports
as shown in the figure above.
If the height is above 34 1/8" (867 mm), use the long leg supports as shown in the figure above.

Water Supply Connection
INSTALLATION
WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
The water supply may be connected to the dishwasher in one of two ways:
• With a metal-braided hose.
• With copper tubing.
Braided Hose/Copper Tubing:
• After connections are made, turn on the water supply to check for leaks.
• Hot water supply line: Use minimum 3/4" O.D. copper tubing or metal-braided
dishwasher supply line.
• Water Inlet valve of the dishwasher has a 3/4"-11.5NH inlet coupling thread dimension
according to ASME B1.20.7-1991.
• When buying a water inlet hose for the dishwasher, please choose the thread dimension
of the inlet hose that is compatible with the indicated water inlet valve inlet coupling
thread dimensi on (3/4"-11.5NH) of the dishwasher.
• Temperatures required for soldering and sweating will damage the dishwasher’s water
inlet valve, so if any such operation is needed, keep the heat source a minimum of
7"–8" (178 mm–203 mm) away from the dishwasher’s water inlet valve.
• There should not be any sharp bends in the water line, as this may restrict the water flow.
• Teflon tape or pipe thread compound must be used for sealing the connection. Before
connecting the copper water supply line to the dishwasher, flush it with hot water to
clear any foreign material.
15
STEAM PROTECTION FOIL
Steam will escape when the dishwasher door is opened during operation of the dishwasher
and after completion of any of the unit's working cycles. In order to prevent the resulting
steam from collecting and damaging at the underside of the countertop, we recommend
using the steam protection foil provided with this unit.
Fitting the Protection Foil
Clean the surface with a damp cloth. To install the steam protection foil (letter "c" from the
parts list on page 8), peel off the protective layer and carefully apply the strip to the
bottom of the cabinet above.
Steam protection foil must be applied where
the steam escapes when door is first opened.
Failure to install the steam protection foil
during installation can lead to damage to the
cabinets and countertop.

6. When drilling a hole for the drain hose through an adjacent cabinet panel, use caution
to not cause damage to the drain hose by any sharp edges of the hole. If the panel is
wood, be sure to sand any rough edges before routing the drain hose through. If the
panel is metal, be sure to protect the drain hose by using a suitable edge protector or
grommet (not supplied) made for this purpose by the manufacturer.
7. Take caution not to damage the drain hose when installing the dishwasher on the floor,
wall, or cabinet. To prevent leaks or drainage problems, make sure the drain hose is not
damaged, kinked, or twisted.
8. IMPORTANT: Do not cut the wrinkled area of the drain hose to fit the size. When arranging
the drain hose, take caution not to touch the sharp edges of the cabinet or under-sink.
• 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. Inspect the inside
of the drain hose for any obstructions and remove if found. Also, inspect the outside
length of the drain hose for any damage, cuts, or excessive creases.
• 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
may cause water leaks.

Installation Checklist
INSTALLATION
INSTALLER CHECKLIST
The professional who installs this appliance must complete and check the following:
• The dishwasher is square and level.
• The dishwasher is fastened securely to the cabinetry.
• The dishwasher door opens and closes freely. The dishwasher door must close without
hitting any cabinetry or countertop.
• The inlet water supply is turned on and checked for leaks.
• The drain hose has been connected and checked for leaks. There must be no kinks or
obstructions in the drain hose.
• The drain hose must be installed with a 30" (762 mm) high drain loop for drain hook-ups
without any air removed.
• The spray arms are free and rotate freely.
• The rinse cycle has been run.
• The water level must be below the filter screen after the end of the wash program. It is
normal to find some water in the drain filter area.
NOTE: If the installer connects the water drain hose to a trap spigot under the sink, the plastic
membrane must be removed. If the entire membrane is not removed, remaining food can
cause a blockage in the drain hose spigot. Ensure a hose clamp is used to secure the hose
to the spigot.

WARRANTY
COVERAGE
ZLINE Kitchen and Bath (“ZLINE”) dishwashers have a one year parts and service warranty.
ZLINE warranty periods begin from the original date of product delivery and solely cover the
original purchaser of the product, delivered new and in its original carton. The limited warranty
covers all parts and labor for necessary repairs if any part of the product, or the product itself,
proves to be defective in materials or workmanship. The product must be deemed serviceable
via troubleshooting with the ZLINE Customer Experience team. All service on ZLINE products
under warranty must be performed by ZLINE-approved and ZLINE-certified service providers
unless otherwise specified by ZLINE. Service will be provided during normal business hours.
Products must be unobstructed and accessible to the service provider at the time of service.
ZLINE’s liability is limited to the original purchase price of the product. Additional injuries,
losses, damages, or other inconveniences caused by product malfunction or defects in materials
are not covered under the terms of this warranty.
TERMS
ZLINE warranties apply only to the original purchaser of a ZLINE product installed for normal
residential use. This is defined as a single-family, residential dwelling in a non-commercial
setting. Any warranty claim stemming from installation, operation, or any other use within a
commercial setting is not covered under this limited warranty. Commercial settings include,
but are not limited to: schools, churches, hotels, restaurants, vacation rentals such as Airbnb,
daycare centers, private clubs, fire stations, common areas in multi-family dwellings, nursing
homes, food service locations, and institutional food service locations such as hospitals or
correctional facilities.
This warranty is non-transferable and will not under any circumstance be extended based on
the date of installation — the warranty period takes effect from the date of delivery and only
covers the original purchaser. The warranty applies only to products installed in the contiguous
United States and the District of Columbia. Failure to secure certified warranty service per these
terms will result in a forfeiture of the remaining warranty.
Out-of-pocket payments will not be reimbursed unless prior approval is received from ZLINE
and/or ZLINE-certified service contract partners. Unapproved out-of-pocket payments
for service will not be reimbursed. All warranty procedures must be followed to maintain
warranty coverage.
WARRANTY
If a product qualifies within the service window provided under these warranty terms, and ZLINE
is unable to repair the product or a defective part of the product after a reasonable number
of attempts, ZLINE reserves the right to offer to replace the defective part or the product or
provide the original purchaser a full refund of the purchase price of the product (not including
installation, removal, or other charges that were not included in the original purchase price).
The original purchaser of the product must provide the original proof of purchase, including the
purchase date, when filing a claim to obtain replacement parts, service, or refunds. Additionally,
the original purchaser of the product must provide the serial number of the product when filing
a claim to obtain replacement parts, service, or refunds.
This warranty shall not apply to any ZLINE product in which the original factory serial
number has been removed, altered, or cannot be readily determined for any reason. Further,
ZLINE is not responsible for damage resulting from, but not limited to: shipment, delivery, or
improper installation; negligence or improper maintenance, misuse, or abuse of the product;
unauthorized alteration, modification, or tampering with the product; accident, fire, floods,
pest infestations, pandemics, natural disasters, or any other unpreventable or unexplained
acts of nature, commonly referred to as “acts of God”; flare-up fires or damages caused by
improper electric supply, electrical line current, voltage, or power surges; and service to correct
installation not in accordance with the instructions contained in ZLINE’s product manuals and/
or with local government codes.
This warranty does not apply to aesthetic damage, scratches, or natural wear caused by normal
use; second-hand, open box products, or products purchased from an unauthorized retailer;
and damages or issues stemming from alteration or tampering with the dishwasher, including,
but not limited to, painting any portion of the product’s interior or exterior and altering or
otherwise manipulating the power cord.
In the event service is dispatched, and it is discovered that the reported issue is not covered
under warranty based on the disclaimers above, the customer will be responsible for all service
fees. Failure to pay these fees will result in the forfeiture of remaining warranty coverage.
WARRANTY
Information contained within ZLINE’s installation and user manuals, in addition to product
information included on ZLINE’s website and all related digital listings, do not cover every
possible condition and situation that may occur during the installation or operation of
ZLINE products.
ZLINE reserves the right to make changes at any time to its products when considered safe,
necessary, and useful. Always check the ZLINE website for the most up-to-date version of its

Do not install or operate any ZLINE product if it has missing or broken parts or if it arrives
damaged due to shipping. If ZLINE products arrive damaged, contact ZLINE Customer
Experience at 1-614-777-5004 for help. Failure to report a damaged appliance prior to
installation or operation may void the warranty.
ZLINE disclaims responsibility for damage or injury caused by improper installation or use of
any of its products. ZLINE is under no obligation, by law or otherwise, to provide concessions,
including repairs, prorates, rebates, discounts, or replacements, once the warranty has expired.
SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION
Please write down the model number and serial number of
your appliance. Both numbers are located on the rating tag
located on the right-hand side of the inner door of the
dishwasher. The tag is visible when the dishwasher door is
open. Do not remove permanently affixed labels, warnings,
or plates from the product. This will void the warranty. You
may also consider attaching your receipt or proof of purchase
to this manual.
