Description
Locate dishwasher where there is easy access to drain, water and electrical
lines. The best location is on either side of the kitchen sink for access to existing
plumbing and ease in loading dishes.
Use dimensions shown in this manual to determine space needed for
installation. If dishwasher is to be placed in a corner, there must be at least a
2" side clearance to open the dishwasher door. If dishwasher is installed at the
end of a cabinet line, sides and back must be fully enclosed.
Electrical, water and drain lines must be confined to the shaded areas in
Dishwasher, Cabinet, and Supply Dimensions.
Electrical Supply
Dishwasher operates on a 120 volt, 60 Hz electrical supply. Provide a separate
circuit with a fuse or circuit breaker rated for at least 15 amps (20 amps if
connected with disposer) but not more than 20 amps.
Verify electrical power has been disconnected at fuse box or circuit breaker box.
Grounding Instructions
The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring
system. The equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit
conductors and connected to the appliance's equipment grounding terminal or
lead. It is the consumer's responsibility to contact a qualified installer to make
sure the electrical installation conforms with the National Electrical Code along
with local codes and ordinances.
