New installation
If the dishwasher is a new installation, most of the installation work must be done before the
dishwasher is moved into place.
Replacement
If the dishwasher is replacing an old dishwasher, you must check the exising dishwasher connections
for compatibility with the new dishwasher. Repace the existing connections as necessary.

STEP 2 SELECT THE BEST LOCATION FOR THE DISHWASHER

The following criteria are important to ensure the best location for the dishwasher:
-
The location must have a solid fl oor that is able to support the weight of the dishwasher.
-
The location must be near a sink with easy access to the water supply, drain, and electrical
outlet.
For the drain to operate properly, the dishwasher should be installed within 9.8 ft (3 m) of
the sink.
-
The location must let you load your dishes into the dishwasher easily.
-
The location must have suffi cient space for the dishwasher door to open easily and provide
enough space between the dishwasher and the cabinet sides (at least 0.1 in (2 mm)).
If the dishwasher is installed in a corner, ensure that the side of the dishwasher is more than
2 in. (50 mm) from the wall or cabinet to its right or left.
-
The wall at the back must be free of obstructions.
If this is a new installation, follow these steps:
1. Using a 2 ½ inch hole saw, cut a hole into the side of the cabinet that holds the sink as
shown in Figure 1-1 below.
2. If the base inside the sink cabinet is raised above the kitchen fl oor and is higher than the
connections on the dishwasher, make a hole in the base inside the cabinet and in the cabinet
side as shown in Figure 1-2.
Depending on where your electrical outlet is, you may need to cut a hole in the opposite
cabinet side.
