CHOOSING A LOCATION  
THESE INSTALLATION  
INSTRUCTIONS ARE  
INTENDEDFORUSEBY  
QUALIFIEDINSTALLERS  
Choosing the Location  
Select a location as close to the sink as  
possible for ready access to water and drain  
lines.  
Most of the installation work is done before  
the dishwasher is moved into place.  
1-15/16” (49mm)

CAUTION  
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. If the valve or water  
line freezes, flooding may occur. Such  
ruptures are not covered by the  
warranty.  
Drain Hose  
The dishwasher comes with a seven (7)  
foot drain hose.  
• A 1.25” access hole must be made to  
allow the drain hose to be run to the  
drain connection location.  
IMPORTANT  
If no air gap is used and the drain  
line is run into a sink or disposer,  
the drain line must be elevated to  
a point higher than the highest  
water level of the sink to prevent  
Hot Water Supply  
The hot water line to the dishwasher  
must provide between 5 - 120 psi (0.3-  
8.27 bars) water pressure.  
The hot water heater should be set to  
deliver 140°F (60°C) water  
back  
siphoning

temperature to the dishwasher.¹  
A 3/8” minimum O.D. copper tubing  
inlet line is recommended.  
All solder connections must be made  
before water line is connected to the  
dishwasher’s inlet water valve. Do not  
solder within 6 inches (152.4 mm)  
of the dishwasher’s inlet water  
valve.  
NOTE: If connection to an air gap is  
required by local code, air gap kits are  
available from local plumbing sources.  
Install the air gap according to the  
manufacturer’s instructions.  
Drill a 1” (25.4 mm) diameter access  
hole in the cabinet for the water supply  
line (Figure 9A).  
Run the line to the approximate fill  
valve location, as shown in Figure 9A.  
Drain  
Hose  
It is recommended that a shut-off valve (not  
supplied) be installed in the hot water  
supply line in a readily accessible location,  
see Figure 9.

temperature. Your dishwasher will perform equally as well at 120° F water  
temperature, but the run time will be extended.

Electrical Supply  
The customer has the responsibility to  
ensure that the dishwasher installation is  
in compliance with all national and local  
electrical codes and ordinances. The  
dishwasher shall be installed by a qualified  
electrician and properly grounded. The  
electrical supply for which the dishwasher  
is designed is 120V, 60 Hz, AC, connected  
to a dishwasher-dedicated electrical circuit  
with a fuse or breaker rated for 15 amps.  
If the dishwasher is connected with a food  
disposer, a 20 amp (and no higher) fuse or  
circuitbreaker may be used. No other  
appliances or outlets should be connected  
to the dishwasher supply circuit. Electrical  
supply conductors shall be copper only and  
shall be minimum #16 AWG. Wire  
connectors proper for the size and number  
of wires used to connect the dishwasher  
to the supply circuit shall be used. Do not  
use all-plastic wire connectors. Strip power  
supply wires approximately ½ inch. Do not  
pre-twist wire before applying wire  
connector. After installing wire connectors,  
gently tug wires to check the integrity of  
the connector. Place all wires and  
connectors into the power supply box,  
and reinstall cover with the screw provided

Placing the Dishwasher  
The profile strips on the sides of the  
dishwasher allow the dishwasher to fit into  
a cabinet opening with a width of 23-5/8”  
(600 mm) to 24-1/8” (613 mm). Before  
sliding the dishwasher into the cabinet  
opening:

• Straighten the hot water supply line and  
the electrical cable (see Figure 11).  
• Level & Align (initial adjustments).  
• Guide the drain hose carefully (avoiding  
kinks in hose) as the dishwasher is slid  
into the cabinet opening.  
• Make final leveling adjustments (see  
FINAL STEPS Section).  
To maintain the dishwasher position and  
alignment, first determine which type  
of mounting your dishwasher needs:

bent for mounting to  
side of cabinets  
Figure 10  
Top Mount is used for all types of  
countertops that will not be damaged  
by drilling.  
IMPORTANT  
If you wish to change the front panel of  
the dishwasher this must be done before  
sliding the dishwasher into place.  
For a top mount, position the  
brackets flat on each of the top  
corners of the dishwasher as  
shown in Figure 10A.  
*Note: Additional accessory door pa-  
nels can not be used with SHU 9900  
models.  
Side Mount is used when there is a  
granite, marble or other hard natural  
surface counter top that could be  
damaged by drilling.  
For a side mount, bend the  
brackets, then position them as  
shown in Figure 10B.  
• Drive Mounting Screws (see Figure 3)  
through the holes in the brackets. See  
Figure 10A or 10B.  
• Connect the drain hose, hot water  
supply line and electrical connections  
as described in the following sections.

(not included)  
Connecting the Hot Water  
Supply Line  
• If using a solder joint instead of a com-  
pression fitting, be sure to make all  
solder connections before connecting  
the water line to the dishwasher.  
• Make sure there are no sharp bends or  
kinks in the water line which might  
restrict water flow.  
Figure 15  
• When connecting threaded pipe use pipe  
thread compound or Teflon tape to seal  
the connection.  
• Before connecting the copper hot water  
supply line to the dishwasher, it should  
be flushed with hot water to clear any  
foreign material.  
• Apply Teflon tape or other pipe sealant  
to 90° elbow fitting and connect  
directly to water inlet valve*.  
CAUTION  
DO NOT SOLDER WITHIN 6 INCHES  
(152.4 MM) OF THE DISHWASHER’S  
INLET VALVE.  
TEMPERATURES REQUIRED FOR  
SOLDERING WILL DAMAGE THE  
VALVE!  
Turn on the water supply to check for  
leaks after making connections.  
* Water inlet valve located at the bottom  
left front of the dishwasher.
