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.

■
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.

■
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.
