Drain Requirements

• Follow local codes and ordinances.

• Do not exceed 10 feet distance to drain.

• Do not connect drain lines from other devices

to the dishwasher drain hose.

• Dishwasher must be connected to waste line

with an air gap (not supplied) or 32” minimum

high drain loop, depending on local codes and

ordinances to prevent back ﬂow into the dish

washer.

• Air gap must be used if waste tee or dispose

connection is less than 18” above the footer to

prevent siphoning.

Drain Preparation

The type of drain installation depends on

answers to the following questions:

• Do local codes or ordinances require an air gap?

• Will waste tee or disposer connection be less than

18” above the ﬂoor?

• Will installation have a drain loop less than 32” above

ﬂoor?

If the answer to ANY of the 3 questions above is YES,

Method 1 Must be used. Otherwise either Method 1 or

Method 2 may be used. Figure C or Figure D.

Installation Preparation

• The rough cabinet opening must be at least 24”

deep. The opening should be 35” max. height.

CLEARANCES:

When installed into a corner, allow 2”

min. clearance between dishwasher

and adjacent cabinet, wall or other

appliances. Allow 25-5/8” min. clear-

ance from the front of the dishwash-

er for door opening. Figure B

Clearance for Door Opening

2” Min.

Dishwasher

Countertop

• The dishwasher must be installed so that drain hose is no more

than 10 feet in length for proper drainage.

• The dishwasher must be fully enclosed on the top, sides and

back, and must not support any part of the enclosure.

Method 1 - Air Gap with Waste Tee or Disposer

Method 2 - High Drain with Waste Tee Disposer

Provide a method to attach drain hose to underside of

countertop.

Install waste tee or disposer and air gap according to

manufacture’s instructions.

CABINET PREPARATION

• Drill a 1-1/2” dia. hole in the cabinet wall within the shaded

areas shown in Figure A for the drain hose connection. The

hole should be smooth with no sharp edges.

CAUTION: An air gap MUST BE USED if the drain hose is connected to waste tee or disposer lower than 18” above the ﬂoor.

Failure to provide drain connection height with air gap or 32” minimum, high drain loop will result in improper draining of the

dishwashers.

Electrical Requirements

• This appliance must be supplied with 120V, 60 Hz., and

connected to an individual properly grounded branch

circuit, protected by a 15 or 20 ampere circuit breaker or

time delay fuse.

• Wiring must be 2 wire with ground.

• If the electrical supply does not meet the above require

ments, call a licensed electrician before proceeding.

Grounding Instructions – Cable Direct

This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal,

permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding

conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and be

connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead

on the appliance.

Grounding Instructions – Power Cord Models

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a mal-

function or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of

electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for

electric current. The plug must be plugged into an appro-

priate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance

with local codes and ordinances.

Installation Preparation

WARNING

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY: Re-

move house fuse or open circuit

breaker before beginning instal-

lation. Do not use an extension

cord or adapter plug with this

appliance.

The improper connection of the

equipment grounding conductor

can result in a risk of electric

shock. Check with a qualiﬁ ed

electrician or service represen-

tative if you are in doubt that the

appliance is properly grounded.

Prepare Electrical Wiring

Cabinet Preparation & Wire Routing

• The wiring may enter the opening from either side,

rear or the ﬂ oor within the shaded area.

• Cut a 1-1/2” max. dia. hole to admit the electrical cable.

The hole must be free of sharp edges. If the cabinet wall

is metal, the hole edge must be covered with a bushing.

• Cable direct connections may pass through the same

hole as the drain hose and hot water line, if convenient. If

cabinet wall is metal, the hole edge must be covered with a

bushing. NOTE: Power cords with plug must pass through

a separate hole.

Electrical Connection to Dishwasher

Electrical connection is on the right front of dishwasher.

• For cable direct connections the cable must be routed

as shown in Figure E. Cable must extend a minimum of 24”

from the rear wall.

• For power cord connections, install a 3-prong grounding

type receptacle. The power-supply receptacle for the

appliance shall be installed in a cabinet or on a wall

adjacent to the undercounter space in which the

appliance is to be installed.

Installation Instructions

CAUTION

Opening the door will cause

the dishwasher to tip forward.

Do not open the door until

you are ready to install the

dishwasher. If it is necessary

to open the door, hold the top

of the dishwasher securely

with one hand and hold the

door with the other hand.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Locate and set aside the package

containing 2 phillips head countertop

mounting screws and 2 additional

toekick screws (located in the litera-

ture package.)

PREPARE HOT WATER LINE

• The line may enter from either side, rear or ﬂoor

within the shaded area shown in Figure F.

• The line may pass through the same hole as the

electival cable and drain hose. Or, cut an additional

1-½”dia. hole to accomodate the water line. If power

cord with plug is used, water line must not pass

through cord hole.

STEP 1: Check Door Balance

To check the door balance, hold the top of the dish-

washer ﬁrmly.

WATER LINE CONNECTION

• Turn o water supply.

• Install a hand shut-o valve in an accessible loca-

tion, such as under the sink. (Optional, but strongly

recommended and may be required by local codes.)

• Water connection is on the left side of the dish-

washer. Install the hot water inlet line, using no less

than ⅜” O.D. copper tubing. Route the line as shown

in Figure F and extend forward at least 18” from rear

wall.

• Adjust water heater for 120° F to 150° F temperature.

• Flush water line to clean out debris.

• The hot water supply line pressure must be

20-120PSI.

• Open the door slowly, if the door drops when

released increase spring tension. If the door closes

when released decrease tention.

• Adjust both door springs to the same tension.

• Continue moving the spring pin until door is balanced.

Installation Instructions

STEP 5: Install 90oElbow

• Wrap 90oelbow with thread seal tape. Do not use

plumber’s putty.

• Install a 90° elbow onto the water valve.

could bend or water valve ﬁtting could break.

• Position the end of the elbow to face the bottom right

of the dishwasher.

STEP 2: Adjust Leveling Legs

• Move the dishwasher close to the installation location

and lay it on its back.

• Measure installation height and dishwasher height.

Extend leveling legs out from the dishwasher base,

1/4” less installation height.

STEP 4: Install Power Cord

• Skip this step if dishwasher will be direct wired. Use

power cord kit WX09X7090 available for purchase

from an authorized GE parts dealer. The power cord

and connections must comply with local codes and

ordinances.

• Recommended power cord length is 54” min. - 64” max.

• Connecting incoming power cord white (or ribbed)

to dishwasher white, black (or smooth) to black and

ground to dishwasher green wire. Use cUL/UL listed

wire nuts of appropriate size.

• Replace junction box cover. Be sure wires are not

pinched under the cover.

STEP 3: Remove Toekick

• Remove the 2 toekick screws. Lift o the 1 piece

toekick.

Installation Instructions

STEP 6: Install Drain Hose

• Install the screw type hose clamps to the drain hose.

• Install the drain hose to the drain hose installation

hose, then tighten the screw type hose hole.

STEP 8: Slide Dishwasher Partially into Cabinet

DO NOT PUSH AGAINST FRONT PANEL WITH

KNEES. DAMAGE WILL OCCUR.

• Slide dishwasher into the opening a few inches at a

time.

• As you proceed, pull the drain hose through the

opening under the sink. Stop pushing when the dish-

washer is a few inches forward of adjacent cabinetry.

• Make sure drain hose is not kinked under the dish-

washer and there is no interference with the water line

and wiring or any other component.
