Installation
NOTE
New installation
If the dishwasher is a new installation, most of the installation work must be done before
the dishwasher is moved into place.
Replacement
If the dishwasher is replacing an old dishwasher, you must check the exising dishwasher
connections for compatibility with the new dishwasher. Replace the existing connections
as necessary.
STEP 2 Select the best location for the dishwasher
The following criteria are important to ensure the best location for the dishwasher:
• The location must have a solid oor that is able to support the weight of the
dishwasher.
• The location must be near a sink with easy access to the water supply, drain, and
electrical outlet.
NOTE
For the drain to operate properly, the dishwasher should be installed within 9.8 ft (3 m)
of the sink.
• The location must let you load your dishes into the dishwasher easily.
• The location must have sufcient space for the dishwasher door to open easily and
provide enough space between the dishwasher and the cabinet sides (at least 0.1 in
(2 mm)).
NOTE
If the dishwasher is installed in a corner, ensure that the side of the dishwasher is more
than 2 in. (50 mm) from the wall or cabinet to its right or left.
• The wall at the back must be free of obstructions.
• Make sure the cabinet for the dishwasher is secured to the oor. If the cabinet is not
secured, it may increase noise when the dishwasher is operating.
