Plan the Installation
Locate the dishwasher where there is easy access to existing water, drain, and electrical lines. Be sure the
water inlet valve will be protected from freezing temperatures. If the valve freezes, flooding may occur.
The best location for your dishwasher is on either side of the kitchen sink. This position should provide easy
access to existing plumbing and will be convenient for loading items into the dishwasher once your dishwasher
is installed.
