prevent early clogging of filter screen. Place a bunched towel
over end of line to prevent splashing. Open water supply valve for
a few seconds and let water drain into a pan. Turn off water
supply at shut-off valve.
Route water line to water inlet valve as shown in Figure 4.
While firmly pulling water supply line into 90° elbow, tightly
connect water supply to water inlet valve. Supply line must be
free of kinks, scales, chips, and lubricants.
Turn on water supply and check for leaks.
Electrical Supply
1. Remove junction box cover and pull house wiring into junction
box. See Figure 9
Use a UL listed conduit connector (not included) at box to

Grounding Instructions:
The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded metal,
permanent wiring system or an equipment-grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the appliance’s equipment grounding terminal
or lead. It is the consumer’s responsibility to contact a
qualified installer to make sure the electrical installation
conforms with the National Electrical Code and local codes
and ordinances.
Do not connect the dishwasher to the power supply until the
appliance is permanently grounded.
All wiring connections must be enclosed in the junction box.
This unit has copper lead wires.
Joining aluminum building wire to stranded copper wire
should be done by a qualified electrician using materials
recognized by UL and local codes.
Do not use an extension cord. Such use can result in fire,
electrical shock, or other personal injury.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in death or
serious injury.

Sink at Right
2" Drain Hose Hole
The drain hose loop must be at least 32” (80 cm) high from the floor
to insure proper drainage.
2. If you connect to a sink drain, entry will need to be above trap.
A “Y” branch tailpiece and connector kit, not included, will make
this method easier and includes all needed fittings and instructions.
See Figure 12.
3. If you connect to a sink trap,local codes may require you to
install an air gap kit, (not included). The drain hose will be routed
from dishwasher to air gap inlet as shown in Figure 13 An air
gap kit is available from a plumbing supply store. (If the drain
hose is installed through the floor, an air gap is necessary).
4. If you connect to a disposer, the large end of drain hose will fit.
Figure 14 (a) The knock out plug must be removed from
Inside disposer Inlet before making the final fit to drain
hose. See Figure 14 (b).

The drain hose loop must be at least 32” (80 cm) high from the floor
to insure proper drainage.
5. If the cabinet wall is wood, sand edges of hole until smooth and
rounded. If cabinet wall is metal, cover all sharp edges with
electrical or duct tape to avoid cutting drain hose.
6. Move unit back in place while routing drain hose through access
hole. Use caution to prevent damage to the dishwasher, floor and
cabinets. IMPORTANT: Make sure there are no sharp bends
or kinks that might restrict drain flow.
7. Secure drain hose to sink drain, disposer, or separate trap with a
clamp. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to overtighten clamp or
you may damage end of hose. Do not connect hose to
horizontal pipe between sink drain and disposer.
8. Be sure unit does not rest on drain hose. It should be free of
electrical components and door springs. Do not cut corrugated
drain hose. Pull excess through cabinet and place under sink.
Make sure hose does not come in contact with any sharp edges.
