Option 2, Power supply cord method:
NOTE: A mating, 3 prong, ground-type wall receptacle is required
in a cabinet next to the dishwasher opening.
1. Drill a 1 ¹⁄₂" (3.8 cm)
hole in the cabinet
rear or side.
Preferred and
optional locations
are shown.
2. Wood cabinet:
Sand the hole until
smooth.
Metal cabinet: Cover hole with grommet (Part Number
302797) included with power supply cord kit.
Install the water line
Helpful Tip: Routing the water line through the left side of
cabinet opening will make water connection easier.
1. Drill a minimum
¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) hole in the cabinet side, rear or
floor. Preferred and optional locations are shown.
2. Measure overall
length of copper
tubing required.
3. Attach copper tubing
to the water line with
a manual shutoff
valve.
4. Slowly feed copper
tubing through hole in
cabinet. Copper tubing will bend and kink easily, so be
gentle. The copper tubing should be far enough into the
cabinet opening to connect it to dishwasher inlet on the front
left of the dishwasher.
5. Turn water shutoff valve to “ON” position. Flush water into a
shallow pan to get rid of particles that may clog the inlet
valve.
6. Turn shutoff valve to “OFF” position.
Install the drain hose
IMPORTANT: Always use a new drain hose.
1. Drill a 1
¹⁄₂" (3.8 cm)
diameter hole in
cabinet wall or floor
on the side of the
opening closest to
the sink.
2. Connect drain hose to waste tee or waste disposer using one
of the following methods:
■ Option 1, Waste disposer – with air gap
■ Option 2, No waste disposer – with air gap
■ Option 3, Waste disposer – no air gap*
■ Option 4, No waste disposer – no air gap*
*An air gap is recommended.
Helpful Tip: To reduce the vibration of the hose, keep the
hose away from the floor and the edge of the hole where it
passes through the cabinet.
Option 1, Waste disposer - with air gap:
1. Remove the disposer knockout plug. Cut end of drain hose if
needed (do not cut ribbed section).
2. Attach drain hose to air gap with large spring-type clamp. If
the drain hose was cut, use a 1 ¹⁄₂" to 2" (3.8 to 5 cm) screw-
type clamp*.
3. Use a rubber hose connector* with spring- or screw-type
clamps* to connect air gap to disposer inlet.
This connection must be before the drain trap and at least
20" (50.8 cm) above the floor where dishwasher will be
installed.
4. Insert drain hose through
hole cut in cabinet to the
front center of opening
where drain connection will
be made.
