Overview

This document provides installation and dimensional specifications for an Amana Built-In Tall-Tub Dishwasher.

Function Description:

The Amana Built-In Tall-Tub Dishwasher is designed to be integrated into kitchen cabinetry, providing a dedicated appliance for washing dishes. The "tall-tub" designation typically indicates a larger interior capacity compared to standard dishwashers, allowing for more dishes or larger items to be washed in a single load. As a built-in unit, it is intended for permanent installation within a kitchen design, offering a seamless look.

Important Technical Specifications:

Product Dimensions:

The document provides detailed dimensions in both inches and centimeters, corresponding to specific measurements labeled A, B, C, and D on the provided diagrams.

  • A (Depth from front to back, excluding door handle/protrusions):
    • Inches: 23 7/8"
    • Centimeters: 60.6 cm
  • B (Width of the base/kickplate area):
    • Inches: 19 1/2"
    • Centimeters: 49.5 cm
  • C (Overall width of the dishwasher):
    • Inches: 23 7/8"
    • Centimeters: 60.6 cm
  • D (Overall height of the dishwasher, adjustable):
    • Inches: 33 1/2" - 35 1/4"
    • Centimeters: 85.1 cm - 89.5 cm

Cabinet Opening Dimensions (for installation):

The installation diagram illustrates the required cabinet opening dimensions:

  • Width: 24 inches
  • Height: 34 inches - 35 inches
  • Depth: A minimum of 24 inches is implied for the main body of the dishwasher.

Electrical Requirements:

The dishwasher requires an adequately wired individual 120V A/C, 60Hz approved electrical circuit. It must use a required fuse (15 amp) or a comparable circuit breaker. This dedicated circuit ensures the dishwasher receives stable power and prevents overloading other circuits in the home.

Plumbing Requirements:

  • Drain Loop: A minimum 32-inch drain loop with a 1/2-inch inside diameter is required. This loop is crucial for preventing backflow of dirty water into the dishwasher and for proper drainage.
  • Siphon Break: Floor drains specifically require a siphon break to prevent siphoning of water from the dishwasher, which could lead to odors or improper operation.
  • Water Supply: Both electrical and water supplies should enter the cabinet opening on the floor, or through the back or side walls, specifically within the shaded area indicated in the drawing. This ensures connections are made in an accessible yet concealed manner.

Model SKUs:

The document lists several model SKUs, indicating different variations or finishes of the ADB2500 series:

  • ADB2500AWW
  • ADB2500AWB
  • ADB2500AWQ
  • ADB2500AWS

Usage Features:

Installation Considerations:

  • Drain and Electrical Placement: The diagram highlights "Preferred drain area" locations, indicating optimal spots for plumbing and electrical connections. It also emphasizes keeping the back area free of drain inlet water and electrical components for safety and proper function.
  • Connection Routing: Connections are preferably located toward the left side of the dishwasher. It is important to route plumbing away from the motor and blower (if equipped) to prevent interference, damage, or noise.
  • Code Compliance: All electrical and plumbing installations must meet local and national codes to ensure safety and compliance.
  • Corner Installation: When installing the dishwasher in or near a corner, sufficient room must be allowed for the door to open fully without interfering with cabinet drawers or hardware. This is a critical design consideration for kitchen functionality.

Maintenance Features:

Drain Loop Importance: The minimum 32-inch drain loop is a key maintenance feature, as it helps prevent dirty water from flowing back into the dishwasher, which could lead to odors, hygiene issues, and potential damage to the appliance. Regular checks of the drain loop for kinks or blockages would be part of routine maintenance.

Siphon Break for Floor Drains: For installations utilizing floor drains, the required siphon break is a preventative measure against siphoning, which could otherwise lead to the dishwasher not filling correctly or retaining unpleasant odors.

Accessibility of Connections: While not explicitly a "maintenance feature," the recommendation for electrical and water supplies to enter through the floor, back, or side walls in the shaded area implies a design that allows for relatively accessible connections should servicing be required.

General Notes:

The document states that the "Style of product may vary from picture," indicating that the visual representation is illustrative and actual product appearance might differ slightly. It also includes an important disclaimer that Amana® reserves the right to change specifications without notice due to continuing product improvements. Dimensional specifications are provided for planning purposes only, and users should refer to the complete installation instructions accompanying each product for detailed guidance before selecting cabinetry, making cutouts, or beginning installation. This emphasizes the dynamic nature of product design and the importance of using the most current instructions.
