1 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.
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.
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.
