CHOOSING THE LOCA T/ON

For easy access to plumbing,

it is most convenient

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 -

3311/16" to 35"; Width -

24" minimum; Depth - 23X"

minimum. If the dishwasher

height of 3311/r6 is too high, it may be reduced to 337/16"

by removing the leveling feet. If side panels are used, cabinet height should be 34%" minimum to 35" maximum

using the adjusting

legs.
