INSTAL,,,,L,,,,ATIONTIPS

Please read all safety instructions before installing your new Electrolux

dishwasher.

Examine the dishwasher and locate the connections. See Locating the

Connections, page 9.

Locate the dishwasher where there is easy access to drain, water, and

electrical lines. The best location is on either side of the kitchen sink for

access to existing plumbing and ease in loading dishes. See Making the

Connections, pages 9-11.

Electrical, water and drain connections are not the same for all age,

brands or models of dishwasher. Check the location and length of home

utilities. See Making the Connections, pages 9-11.

A 15-20 amp, grounded 120 volt AC only electrical supply is required. See

Making the Connections, pages 9-11.

If the dishwasher drain hose will be connected to a food disposer for the

first time, remove knock out plug covering disposer inlet. See Making the

Connections, pages 9-11.

Kinked water and drain hoses can cause problems. See Finishing the

Connections, page 16.

Dishwasher need to be connected to a hot water supply with enough water

pressure to ensure an adequate fill. See Making the Water Connection,

page 10.

Each home installation differs. You will need additional parts listed above

to complete the installation. See Materials Needed for Installation, page 5.

Flush water line prior to making the final connection to prevent clogging of

the inlet valve filter screen. See Finishing the Water Connection, page 16.

The dishwasher will look, sound and perform best when properly leveled.

See Leveling the Dishwasher, page 15.

Anchor the dishwasher to the countertop and adjacent cabinets. See

Securing the Dishwasher, page 19.

IIII,,,,,,,,,,OCATINGTHE CONNECTIONS

.

Review dimensions in Figure 2 to locate the dishwasher's drain, water

and electrical connections.

All connections must be made in the shaded

area of Figure f, page 7.

MAKING THE EIIII,EOTRICALCONNECTION

I • l _ m _ _ U • J • m E _ l [] [] [] m g m

1. The dishwasher operates on a 120 Volt, 60 Hz electrical supply. Provide

a separate circuit with fuse or circuit breaker rated for at least 15 amps (20

amps if connected with a disposer), but not more than 20 amps.

2. Note the location of the electrical supply and the dishwasher's electrical

junction box on the right hand underside of the unit. See Figure 2, page 9.

3. Cut the access hole in the shaded area shown in Figure I, page 7.

4. PuN the electrical cable through the hole into the installation area.

MAKING THEWATERCONNECTION

I _ l t l ! [] E • • _ t W I [] [] [] I l []

1. Determine where you connect to the hot water supply. Review Figure 2,

page 9 and note the location of the water inlet valve.

.

Be sure water inlet is protected from freezing. If valve freezes and

ruptures, flooding may occur.

Determine the amount of tubing needed to connect the hot water supply to

the unit's water inlet valve. Copper tubing must have a minimum of 3/8" OD.

High-pressure and high-temperature rated plastic tubing with a minimum

inner diameter of 1/4" may be used. A shut-off valve installed outside the

dishwasher cabinet is recommended. ,See Figure 3, page 11.

2. Cut water access hole in cabinet as shown in Figure 3.

3. Route water supply line to installation area.

MAKINGTHE DRAINCONNECTION

.

Follow local codes and ordinances.

Review Figure 4 and Figure 5, page 12 to see the different ways to connect

dishwasher to drain system. Choose the method that best suits your need.

If you connect to a sink drain, entry will need to be above the trap. A "Y"

branch tailpiece and connector kit, not included, will make this method easier

and included all needed fittings and instructions. See Figure 5, page 12.

1. Flush the water supply line to clear any foreign material before

connecting to the dishwasher.

2. Make sure that there are no sharp bends or kinks to restrict the water

flow.

3. Insert the water line into the 90 ° elbow. See Figure 15,

4. Slide the ferrule against the elbow and secure with the

compression nut.

Turn the water on to check for leaks.

Feed the dishwasher cable through the small hole in the junction box.

Replace the access cover.

The dishwasher is supplied with a 72" long drain hose.

1. If a longer drain hose is required, add up to 48" of length for a total of 10 feet.

The hose must not restrict the flow from the drain of the dishwasher to the

house's drain system. The type of hose used should be consistent with the

type and diameter installed on the dishwasher.

2. Secure the drain hose to the air gap, water tee or disposer with clamps.

3. Make sure the drain hose is not kinked.
