Preparing the Location
WARNING
Follow all cabinet dimensions shown to insure safe
operation. All minimum product dimensions must be
met or exceeded (see page 3). Dimensions
shown on the right provide the required clearances.
• Carefully check the location where the
dishwasher is to be installed. Put it in a location
with convenient access, close to the kitchen sink
for easy water supply and drain connection.
• The electrical outlet or junction box must meet
the Electrical Specifications. The electrical
service must also be installed close by in a
cabinet adjacent to the location selected so that
the power cable can be disconnected without
removing the appliance from the cutout.
• The opening through the partition between the
water supply valve/electrical service location and
the dishwasher cabinet cutout shall be located
near the floor and shall be large enough for
the water supply line and power plug to pass
through. The longest dimension of the opening
shall not be more than 1 1/2” (3.8 cm). If the
partition is wood, the edges of the opening shall
be smooth and rounded. If the partition is metal,
the edges of the opening shall be covered with
an edge protector. Call Dacor for the part number
of an approved edge protector.
• The opening (E) through the partition between
the drain connection and the dishwasher cutout
must be higher than the disposer or waste tee
connection (see page 6) and lower than 30”
(76.0 cm). If the partition is wood, the edges of
the opening shall be smooth and rounded. If the
partition is metal, the edges of the opening shall
be covered with an edge protector.
• Plan the installation so that the appliance can be
removed easily if service is required.
• If the dishwasher is
installed in a corner,
there must be a
minimum clearance of
2” (5.1 cm) from the
side wall so the door
can open.
• The floor must be
solid, level and all
cutout surfaces must
be at right angles. In
the interest of safety,
the surrounding cabinet must have sufficient
material for attachment of the anti-tip brackets
(see page 14).

IDWH24*
34 1/8” (86.7 cm) to 36 1/8” (91.8 cm)
*Model IDWH24 requires installation of a trim kit
(Dacor PN 106925) to fill the space between the edge
of the cutout and the dishwasher.
** If the height of the existing cutout is too low:
• Check to see if the cabinet face can be trimmed
at the top. In many cases, when a non-standard
size dishwasher has been installed previously,
there is enough room inside the cabinet once the
cabinet face is modified.
• The dishwasher can be shortened 1/4” (6.0 mm)
by not installing the plastic feet on the unit as
shown on page 9. Extra care must be taken if the
feet are not installed. Dacor is not responsible for
floor damage during installation.
• The dishwasher can be shortened 1/4” (6.0 mm)
by removing the trim pieces that surround the
wash compartment opening.
NOtE: Doing so will
create a gap of 1/4” (6.0 mm) on the right and left
side of the door.
