Installation Preparation
PREPARE DISHWASHER ENCLOSURE
• The rough cabinet opening must be at least 24" deep, 17-5/8" 
to 18" wide and approximately 34-1/2" high from fl oor to 
underside of the countertop.
• The dishwasher must be installed so that drain hose is no 
more than 10’ in length for proper drainage.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fi re, or injury to persons, the 
installer must ensure that the dishwasher is completely enclosed 
at the time of installation.
CLEARANCES: When
installed into a corner,
allow 2” min. clearance
between dishwasher and
adjacent cabinet, wall or
other appliances. Allow
25-5/8" min. clearance
from the front of the
dishwasher for door
opening. Figure B
DRAIN REQUIREMENTS
• Follow local codes and ordinances.
• Do not exceed 10’ distance to drain.
• Do not connect drain lines from other devices to the 
dishwasher drain hose.
NOTE: Air gap must be used if waste tee or disposer connection 
is less than 18" above floor to prevent siphoning.
DETERMINE DRAIN METHOD
The type of drain installation depends on the following
questions.
  Do local codes or ordinances require an air gap?
  Do local codes or ordinances require an air gap?
  Is waste tee less than 18" above floor?
  Is waste tee less than 18" above floor?
If the answer to either question is YES, Method 1 MUST
be used.
• If the answers are NO, either method may be used. 
CABINET PREPARATION
• Drill a 1-1/2" diameter hole in the cabinet wall within 
the shaded areas shown in Figure A for the drain hose 
connection. The hole should be smooth with no sharp edges.
IMPORTANT: When connecting
drain line to disposer, check to be
sure that drain plug has been
removed. DISHWASHER WILL NOT
DRAIN IF PLUG IS LEFT IN PLACE.

CAUTION:
An air gap 
MUST BE USED if the drain hose is connected to

Failure to provide the proper drain connection height with an 
air gap or 32" minimum high drain loop will result in improper 
draining of the dishwasher, which may cause damage.
