GE Monogram Built-In Dishwashers - Manuel (Page 4)

PREPARE DISHWASHER ENCLOSURE
*Dishwasher models ZBD6900PII and ZBD8900PII require a 3/4" thick
custom panel and will be 24-3/4" deep.
• The rough cabinet opening must be at least 24"
deep, 24" wide and approximately 34-1/2" high
from floor to underside of the countertop.
• The back wall should be free of pipes or wires.
• Adjacent cabinets should be square and plumb
to ensure a good fit (Figure A).
• For a corner installation, allow 2" minimum
clearance between the dishwasher and the
adjacent wall.
• Plumbing and electrical service must enter
the shaded area.
• The dishwasher must be installed so that the drain
hose is no more than 10 feet in length for proper
drainage.
• Provide at least 28-3/8" in front of the dishwasher to
allow the dishwasher door to open fully (Figure B).
• Make sure the floor is level inside the opening and
even with the finished floor of the kitchen. This will
facilitate removal of the dishwasher at a later date
for service, if needed.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire,
or injury to persons, the installer must
ensure that the dishwasher is completely
enclosed at the time of installation.
Special consideration for a dishwasher
installed on a elevated platform
The elevated platform must be flat
and level.
• The dishwasher must be installed no
more than 10 feet from a sink for proper
drainage.
• The dishwasher must be fully enclosed
on the top, sides and back.
• The dishwasher must not support any
part of the enclosure.
Installation Preparation
CLEARANCES: In a corner
installation, provide at least
2" clearance between the
dishwasher and the adjacent
cabinet, wall or other
appliance.
Provide at least 28-3/8" of
clearance in front of the
dishwasher (Figure B).
