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/r6is 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.

If the dishwasher is installed in a corner, there must be adequate clearance to open the door (Fig. 2).

- CAUTION -

To protect against possible rupture of the fill valve, water lines leading to the dishwasher, as well as water

lines in the dishwasher MUST be protected against freezing. Such ruptures are not covered by the warranty.

-5-

2 PREPARING THE LOCATION

Access holes in the cabinets, floor, or rear wall for the hot water supply line, drain line, and electrical supply must

be located within the shaded area in Fig. 3 in order to avoid interference with the dishwasher frame or other

components.

HOT WATER SUPPLY LINE

WARNING:

PLUMBING CONNECTIONS MUST COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE SANITARY, SAFETY, AND

PLUMBING CODES.

Water supply should be 140°F or lower depending on model (refer to Use and Care Guide).

The hot water supply line should be l/2” OD copper tubing or 3/g” galvanized pipe. The dishwasher fill valve has

a 3/B” NPT female connection.

After determining where the water supply line will enter the dishwasher opening, drill a 1” access hole and run

the line to the approximate fill valve location as shown in Fig. 4.

-6-

For service convenience, a shut-off valve (not supplied) should be installed in the supply line in a readily accessible

location (such as beneath the sink) and a union (not supplied) should be installed in the supply line near the

dishwasher fill valve.

- CAUTION -

To prevent heat damage to the fill valve, ALL solder connections must be made BEFORE the water line is

connected to the dishwasher.

DRAIN LINE

The drain line should be 9/16”ID (minimum) flexible hose or 5/l’ OD copper tubing. Flexible hose must be resistant

to heat and detergent and may be obtained from a plumbing, hardware, or automotive supply outlet. DO NOT use

any fittings anywhere in the drain line that are less than l/z” ID. The access hole for the drain line should be 1”.

If drain line is copper, clamp a 12” length of s6” ID flexible hose (heat and detergent resistant) to the end of the

copper tubing. This will facilitate connection of the drain line to dishwasher check valve.

If the drain line is going to be connected to a food waste disposer, BE SURE to remove the knockout or

plug from the fitting on the disposer before connecting drain line. Rubber adapter fitting may be required.

(KitchenAid part number 115729 or available from local hardware or plumbing stores.)

Typical drain connections to sink plumbing are shown

Illal”01d,sprerconnecllon in Fig. 5 & 6.

Fig. 5 Fig. 6

Typical drain connection to an air gap (if required by local code) are shown in Fig. 6.

If drain is rounted to a connection point less than 20” above the floor, the drain line MUST be made to form

a high loop tube (shown in Fig. 7).

CAUTION: Failure to provide either the proper drain connection height (20” above floor level) or a 20” high

loop will result in improper draining of the machine which may cause damage to the machine.

To form the high loop tube, see inset on Fig. 7. Make sure that no kinks develop in the hose or copper tubing.

ELECTRICAL SUPPLY

WARNING: ELECTRICAL AND GROUNDING CONNECTIONS MUST COMPLY WITH THE NATIONAL

ELECTRICAL CODE AND/OR OTHER LOCAL CODES.

WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY.

The electrical supply must be a 115 volt, 15 amp, properly grounded, positioned as shown in Fig. 8, and should

be installed by a qualified electrician. No other appliances or outlets should be on this circuit.

3 PLACING THE DISHWASHER IN ITS LOCATION

The adjustable kickboard and lower panel (Fig. 9) must be removed for access to dishwasher connections. Remove

the kickboard (5) by removing the two screws (one with lock washer) that secure it. Remove two screws (1) and

pull out the bottom of lower panel to unhook tabs (2) from frame. Remove the lower panel by pulling it downward

to slide panel flanges (3) from behind the support channel (4).

Set the dishwasher in front of the prepared cabinet opening and evenly.adjust the four leveling feet to the desired

height.

Slide the dishwasher into the cabinet opening, being careful to avoid damage to the floor or interference with water,

drain, and electrical lines. DO NOT remove the rear cross channel.

Unlatch and open the door and remove the foam shipping cushions from upper corners of the door. Check to assure

that cabinet clearance is equal on both sides of the dishwasher and that cabinet interference does not distort

dishwasher tank.

With the door still open, place a spirit/bubble level against the front tank flange (Fig. 11)and level the dishwasher

front-to-back and side-to-side by adjusting the leveling legs (Fig. 12) in or out as necessary.

‘PL-loiio-1’

Fig. 11

If the dishwasher is not properly leveled or if it is distorted by cabinet interference, the door may not seal properly

and may leak. If necessary, the leveling leg may be further adjusted to correct any distortion and align tank for

equal clearance on both sides (Fig. 12).

-9-

To maintain dishwasher position and alignment, locate the adjustable brackets at the upper tank corners as shown

in Fig. 13 and secure them to the counter top with self drilling flat head wood screws (supplied).

CAUTION :Make

sure screw heads will not interfere with the top of the door.

If these brackets are not compatible with your

countertop, the dishwasher may be anchored to the floor with a VI” lag bolt (not supplied) through the hole in

each side of the dishwasher frame as shown in Fig. 12.

Fig. 13

4 CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY LINE

The water supply line should be flushed to clear any foreign material BEFORE connecting to dishwasher.

Make sure there are no sharp bends or kinks which might restrict water flow.

To facilitate connection of the water line from the rear of the dishwasher, it is recommended that a j/a” NPT street

elbow be connected to the fill valve and a 90° compression elbow (3/8” NPT one end) be connected to the street

elbow. The supply line can then be connected to the compression elbow (see Fig. 14).

NOTE:

If galvanized pipe

is used, substitute a second 3/8” street elbow for the compression elbow.

Turn on water supply and check for leaks.
