Finishing the Water and

Electrical Connection

Property Damage

Do not solder within 6" of the water inlet valve. Damage to

the plastic parts in the valve may occur.

Use care that no sealer, dirt, or other objects enter the valve.

Damage to the filter screen may occur.

Be sure the dishwasher is placed where the water inlet

valve will be kept from freezing. If the valve freezes, it may

rupture and flooding may occur.

Water Line

1. Flush water line before connecting it to water inlet valve to

prevent early clogging of filter screen. Place a bunched towel

over end of line to prevent splashing. Open water supply valve for

a few seconds and let water drain into a pan. Turn off water

supply at shut-off valve.

2. Route water line to water inlet valve as shown in Figure 5.

3. While firmly pulling water supply line into 90° elbow, tightly

connect water supply to water inlet valve. Supply line must be

free of kinks, scales, chips, and lubricants.

4. Turn on water supply and check for leaks.

Electrical Supply

1. Remove junction box cover and pull house wiring into junction

box. See Figure 7a.

2. Use a UL listed conduit connector (not included) at box to

stabilize wiring.

3. Connect incoming black lead to dishwasher's black lead,

incoming white lead to dishwasher's white lead and incoming

green lead to dishwasher's green lead with wire nuts. (See

Grounding Instruction Warning). Wire nuts must be tight.

4. Replace junction box cover.

Electric Shock Hazard

Grounding Instructions:

The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded metal,

permanent wiring system or an equipment-grounding

conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and

connected to the appliance's equipment grounding terminal

or lead. It is the consumer's responsibility to contact a

qualified installer to make sure the electrical installation

conforms with the National Electrical Code and local codes

and ordinances.

Do not connect the dishwasher to the power supply until the

appliance is permanently grounded.

All wiring connections must be enclosed in the junction box.

This unit has copper lead wires.

Joining aluminum building wire to stranded copper wire

should be done by a qualified electrician using materials

recognized by UL and local codes.

Do not use an extension cord. Such use can result in fire,

electrical shock, or other personal injury.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in death or

serious injury.

Finishing the Drain

Connection

1. Review Figures 8, 9 and 10 to see the different ways to connect

dishwasher to drain system. Choose method that best suits

your need.

Entry Must be

Above Trap

"Y"

Branch

Tailpiece

Sink at Right

Sink at Left

2" Drain Hose Hole

Figure 8

The drain hose loop must be at least 32" high from the floor

to insure proper drainage.

2. If you connect to a sink drain, entry will need to be above trap.

A "Y" branch tailpiece and connector kit, not included, will make

this method easier and includes all needed fittings and

instructions. See Figure 8.

3. If you connect to a sink trap, local codes may require you to

install an air gap kit, (not included). The drain hose will be routed

from dishwasher to air gap inlet as shown in Figure 9. An air

gap kit is available from a plumbing supply store. (If the drain

hose is installed through the floor, an air gap is necessary).

4. If you connect to a disposer, the large end of drain hose will fit.

Figure 10(a). The knock out plug must be removed from

inside disposer inlet before making the final fit to drain

hose. See Figure 10(b).

rounded. If cabinet wall is metal, cover all sharp edges with

electrical or duct tape to avoid cutting drain hose.

6. Move unit back in place while routing drain hose through access

hole. Use caution to prevent damage to the dishwasher, floor and

cabinets. IMPORTANT: Make sure there are no sharp bends

or kinks that might restrict drain flow.

clamp. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to overtighten clamp or

you may damage end of hose. Do not connect hose to

horizontal pipe between sink drain and disposer.

8. Be sure unit does not rest on drain hose. It should be free of

electrical components and door springs. Do not cut corrugated

drain hose. Pull excess through cabinet and place under sink.

Make sure hose does not come in contact with any sharp edges.
