ENCLOSURE PREPARATION
NOTE:
 This dishwasher is designed to be enclosed on 
the top and both sides by standard residential kitchen 
cabinetry. 
Select a location as close to the sink as possible for 
easy access to water supply and drain lines. 
For proper dishwasher operation and appearance, 
ensure that the enclosure is square and has the 
dimensions shown in 
Figure 1.
If the dishwasher is to be installed in a corner, make 
sure that there is adequate clearance to open the door. 
See 
Figure 2.

Enclosure Preparation
Avoid Scalding or Electrical Shock Hazard
Make sure the water supply and electrical supply 
are shut off before installation or service.
Avoid Electrical Shock/Fire Hazard
Do not allow the electrical and water supply lines 
to touch.  Separate channels are provided under 
the dishwasher (see page 10).
If the enclosure requires openings for the electrical 
supply cable, hot water supply line, and dishwasher 
drain hose, place them within the dimensions shown by 
the shaded area of 
Figure 3 to avoid interference with 
the dishwasher frame or other components. Make the 
openings for the electrical supply cable and hot water 
supply line 1” (25.4mm) diameter. Make the opening 
for the dishwasher drain hose 1-1/4” (32mm) diameter.  
If the openings are made through wood, sand them 
smooth. If the openings are made through metal, make 
them large enough to accommodate grommets or other 
protective sheaths with inside diameters of 1” (25.4mm) 
for the electrical supply cable and the hot water supply 
line, and 1-1/4” (32mm) for the dishwasher drain hose.
