CHOOSING THE LOCA T/ON
For easy access to plumbing, it is most convement 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. If the dishwasher is being installed at the end of a cabinet
or free standing then side panels and a wood top can be purchased from your KitchenAid dealer to enclose the
dishwasher.
The cabinet opening (Fig. 1) should be square with dimensions as follows: Height - 3311/,6” (856 mm) to
35” (889 mm); Width - 24” (610 mm) minimum; Depth - 24” (610 mm) minimum. If the dishwasher height
of 33”/
,6” (856 mm) is too high, it may be reduced to 337h6” (849 mm) by removing the leveling feet. If side
panels are used, cabinet height should be 34%” (876 mm) minimum to 35” maximum using the adjusting legs.

To protect against possible rupture of the fill valve, water lines leading to the dishwasher, as well as
water lines in the dishwasher MUST be protected against freezing. Such ruptures are not covered by
the warranty.
