LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
Do not run drain lines, water lines or electrical wiring where they can interfere with
or contact dishwasher motors or legs.
The location where the dishwasher will be installed must provide clearance between
motors and flooring. Motors should not touch the floor.
Do not install dishwasher over carpeted flooring
Protect dishwasher and water lines leading to dishwasher against freezing. Damage
from freezing is not covered by the warranty.
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.
•
Minimum of 255/8" (65.1 cm) in front of dishwasher to allow door to fully open.
•
An area, fully enclosed on both sides, back and top.
•
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 prevent 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.
