For part or kit, see local retailer or call Whirlpool Parts: 
1-800-442-8991.

Do not run drain lines, water lines or electrical wiring where they 
can interfere with or contact dishwasher motor or legs.

The location where the dishwasher will be installed must provide 
clearance between motor and flooring. Motor should not touch 
the floor.

Do not install dishwasher over carpeted flooring.

Shelter dishwasher and water lines leading to dishwasher against 
freezing. Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.

A side panel kit is available from your dealer for installing your 
dishwasher at the end of your cabinetry.

A moisture barrier accessory (Part Number 4396277) is available 
from your dealer for installing underneath the countertop. 

Check location where dishwasher will be installed. The location 
must provide:

■

easy access to water, electricity and drain.

■

convenient access for loading and unloading dishes. Corner 
locations require a 2" (5.1 cm) minimum clearance between 
the side of the dishwasher door and the wall or cabinet.

■

square opening for proper operation and appearance.

■

cabinet front perpendicular to floor.

■

level floor. (If floor at front of opening is not level with floor at 
rear of opening, shims may be needed to level dishwasher.)

NOTE: To avoid shifting during dishwasher operation, shims 
must be securely attached to the floor.

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.

Make sure pipes, wires and drain hose are within the shaded area 
shown in the “Cutout dimensions” section.

Helpful Tip: If the floor in the dishwasher opening is uneven 
(example: tile flooring only partway into opening), you will 
need to be exact in measuring dimensions and in leveling 
dishwasher.
