Installation Preparation  
Method 1—Air Gap with Waste Tee or Disposer  
DRAIN REQUIREMENTS  
An air gap must be used when required by local codes and  
ordinances. The air gap must be installed according to  
manufacturers instructions.  
• Follow local codes and ordinances.  
• Do not exceed 10 feet distance to drain.  
• Do not connect drain lines from other devices to the  
dishwasher drain hose.  
NOTE: This dishwasher is equipped with a high drain  
loop. There is no minimum height required for drain hose  
routing. However, 18" minimum from floor to center of  
waste tee or disposer inlet is required. See Figure D.  
DETERMINE DRAIN METHOD  
The type of drain installation depends on the following  
question.  
Figure C  
Do local codes or ordinances require an air gap?  
Is waste tee less than 18" above floor?  
If the answer to either question is YES, Method 1 MUST  
be used.  
Method 2—Built-in “High Drain Loop” with  
Waste Tee or Disposer  
• If the answers are NO, either method may be used.  
CABINET PREPARATION

For models equipped with power cord: Do not modify  
the plug provided with the appliance; if it will not fit the  
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified  
technician.  
Grounding InstructionsCable Direct  
This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal,  
permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding  
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and  
be connected to the equipment grounding terminal or  
lead on the appliance.  
Cabinet Preparation and Wire Routing  
The wiring may enter the opening from either side,  
rear or the floor within the shaded area.  
Cut a 1-1/2" max. dia. hole to admit the electrical  
cable. Cable direct connections may pass through  
the same hole as the drain hose and hot water line,  
if convenient. If cabinet wall is metal, the hole edge  
must be covered with a bushing.  
NOTE: Power cords with plug must pass through a  
separate hole.  
Grounding InstructionsPower Cord Models  
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a  
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the  
risk of electric shock by providing a path of least  
resistance for electric current. This appliance is  
equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding  
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be  
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and  
grounded in accordance with all local codes and  
ordinances.  
Electrical Connection to Dishwasher  
Electrical connection is on the right front of  
dishwasher.  
For cable direct connections the cable must be  
routed as shown in Figure E. Cable must extend  
a minimum of 24" from the rear wall.  
For power cord connections, install a 3-prong  
grounding type receptacle in the sink cabinet rear  
wall, 6" min. or 18" max. from the opening, 6" to 18"  
above the floor.  
WARNING  
The improper connection of the equipment  
grounding conductor can result in a risk  
of electric shock. Check with a qualified  
electrician or service representative if you  
are in doubt that the appliance is properly  
grounded.

Installation Instructions  
PREPARE HOT WATER LINE  
The line may enter from either side, rear or floor  
within the shaded area shown in Figure F.  
The line may pass through the same hole as the  
electrical cable and drain hose. Or, cut an additional  
1-1/2" dia. hole to accommodate the water line.  
If power cord with plug is used, water line must not  
pass through power cord hole.  
BEFORE YOU BEGIN  
Locate and set aside the two Phillips head  
mounting screws wrapped with yellow tape  
and stuck to the top or side of the dishwasher.  
STEP 1  
CHECK DOOR BALANCE  
With dishwasher on the wood skid, check the door  
balance by opening and closing the door.  
If the door drops when released, increase the spring  
tension. If the door rises when released, decrease  
the tension.  
NOTE: The addition of the custom panel on model  
ZBD6890 will require exchange of the factory installed  
springs. Use the heavy-duty springs provided. See the  
custom panel template for additional instructions.  
Position the spring for increased or decreased  
tension as required.  
NOTE: Adjust both balance springs to the same  
amount of tension to prevent excessive door  
twisting during use.

STEP A—Determine custom panel height  
1. Measure dimension A, from the underside of the  
countertop to the bottom of adjacent cabinets.  
2. Subtract 1/4". This allows a 1/4" clearance gap  
between the underside of the countertop and the  
top of the dishwasher door.  
HEIGHT = A 1/4"  
NOTE: 30-1/16" minimum panel height is required to  
cover the door frame. Panel height varies depending  
on installation. Consideration must be given to door  
swing clearance above the toekick.  
STEP B—Determine custom panel width  
1. Measure dimension B, the rough opening width.  
2. Subtract 1/4" for clearance (1/8" on each side).  
WIDTH = B 1/4"  
NOTE: The most common panel dimensions are  
30-1/4"H and 23-3/4"W.  
IMPORTANT: To ensure optimum door balance  
performance, it is recommended that the door  
panel weight be no more than 14 lbs.
