2. Ins talling the dish washer under the countertop. It is preferable to install the m ain water and ele ctric supplie s so that they can be accessed through an adjacent cabinet, rather t han situ ating th em be- hind the machine. See the “Plumbin g” and “Electri cal” section s for proper con - nection procedures before continuin g.
Adjust th e rear leveling legs to t he re- quired height. T o rais e the machine - turn clockwise. T o lower the mac hine - tur n count er - clockwise. Several tur ns may be ne eded to set the correct height. A low s peed electri c or cord less sc rewdri ver can a lso be us ed.
3. Installing the Control pa nel The control pa nel and hardware is pa ckaged separ ately from th e dishw asher . It should be ins talled using t he follwing procedure.
4. Ali gning the control panel with the drawer fronts. The control panel can be ali gned with the drawer fronts of the k itchen cabinets by adjusting t he spacer bars. Using an 8 mm so cket, turn the nut clockwis e or counterclockw ise until the space rs reach th e required height.

If the adja cent c abinetry (or a p- pliance) does not have drawers and alignment to a drawer line i s im- possible: Hang the bracke t on the machi ne door , without the templates, a nd tighten t he four lo cking screws on the edges of th e door panel.
Open the dishwasher door slight ly . If the locking screws on the edge of the dishwasher door can not be reached, the dishwas her will have to be pulled out of i ts r ecess a few inch es.
6. Adjusting the door springs. The door springs are adjus ted correctly when a half opened door remains in that pos ition when released. If the d oor dr ops down, th e spring ten- sion needs to be increased. If the doo r closes, th e spring tens ion needs to decreased.
Open the dishwas her door and using flat he ad scr ews, secur e the dishwash er to th e counte rtop by scr ewing thr ough b oth the mountin g brackets and the steam deflecto r . Make certain that the whi te rubber seal locat ed at the top, outer edge of the dishwasher is tight ag ainst the bott om of th e count ertop.
For openings exactly 23 5/8" (60 cm) wide: Open the dishwas her door and remove the caps covering th e mount- ing holes on the oute r edge of the wash chamber . Fasten the dis hwasher t o the ad - jacent cabin ets using th e supplied screws and bush ings.
For kitchens utilizing the included plas - tic toekick The included toek ick will fit w ithout modification whe n: – The machine is set to i ts maximum height (le gs fully exten ded), and – the to ekick is r ecessed as far as possible (4 ").
T rimming the toe kick The r ear of the to ekick ha s two cutt ing lines. Scr ew the toek ick onto th e instal led brackets, wit h the cutti ng lin es to- wards the top, and pull out e venly until it aligns with the to ekick of the adjoining cabinets.
Electrical conne ction It is the responsibility and obligation of the customer to ensur e th at the electrical a nd plumbing ins tallation is carried out by a qua lified installer in compliance with nat ional and local codes an d ordinances.
Permanent Connection (Hard Wiring). For hard wiring, the pow er cord must be disconnec ted from the ter minal bo x located a t the lowe r left fr ont of the dish - washer , behind th e toekick and servic e panel. Pass the per manent power sup- ply cable through th e strain relief and secur e it to the terminal bo x.
Plumbing It is the responsibility and obligation of the customer to ensur e th at the electrical a nd plumbing ins tallation is carried out by a qua lified installer in compliance with nat ional and local codes an d ordinances.
The water pressure must be betw een 4.5 and 1 45 psi ( 0.3 and 10 bar). If the water pressur e is too low the ma- chine may not take in enough water in the alloted time and the “Water Intake” in- dicator lamp will flash. If the water pressur e is too high, a press- ure r educer must be installed.
Drain sys tem specific ations: The machine comes equippe d with: – A 5 ft. long (1.5 m) flexible dr ain hose with a n inter nal diame ter of 7 /8" (22 mm). – A built-in s wivel c onnecto r which allows the drain hose t o be routed in any direction.
V enti ng the drainage system The dish washe r drain must be vented only if the drain hose is conne cted to a floor drai n or to a drai n pipe that is below the level of the bottom of the lower basket ; otherwise t he water in - side of the dishwash er may siphon out during the course of a wash program.
