CHOOSING THE LOCA T/ON
For easy access to plumbing,
it is most convement
to have your dishwasher
located near the kitchen sink.
Any built-in dishwasher
must be fully enclosed on the top, both sides, and the back. Therefore,
the cabinet space
below your kitchen counter is probably the best location. If the dishwasher
is being installed at the end of a cabinet
or free standing then side panels and a wood top can be purchased
from your KitchenAid
dealer to enclose the
dishwasher.
The cabinet
opening
(Fig. 1) should
be square with dimensions
as follows:
Height -
3311/,6" (856 mm) to
35" (889 mm); Width -
24" (610 mm) minimum;
Depth -
24" (610 mm) minimum.
If the dishwasher
height
of 33"/ ,6" (856 mm) is too high, it may be reduced to 337h6" (849 mm) by removing
the leveling
feet. If side
panels are used, cabinet height should be 34%" (876 mm) minimum
to 35" maximum
using the adjusting
legs.

To protect
against
possible
rupture
of the fill valve, water lines leading
to the dishwasher,
as well as
water lines in the dishwasher
MUST be protected
against freezing.
Such ruptures
are not covered
by
the warranty.
