How should install a inbuilt Dacor dishwasher at home

 A built-in Dacor dishwasher is made to fit seamlessly beneath your kitchen countertop and between your lower cabinets. Installing one is a manageable DIY job, but you’ll need to carefully make the needed electrical, water supply, and drain line connections. If your new Dacor dishwasher uses front hookups, push it into place before making the final connections. If it uses rear hookups, make the final connections before pushing it into place. In any case, follow the appliance’s installation instructions carefully so you can tackle those dirty dishes!

Setting up the Cabinet and Utilities

Evaluate the intended cabinet space for your chosen dishwasher. Built-in Dacor dishwashers are typically designed to fit in a standard cabinet width—24 in (61 cm) in the U.S.—and be placed right beside the sink cabinet. Confirm that your intended installation space suits the requirements for your selected dishwasher; otherwise, you’ll have to make potentially costly adjustments to your cabinetry layout.

Drill holes into the dishwasher side of the sink cabinet, if needed. If you are installing a  Dacor dishwasher for the first time in your chosen space, you’ll have to drill 3 holes through the side of the cabinet for the dishwasher's electric wiring, water inlet, and drain tube. If you’re replacing a dishwasher, you can typically reuse the existing holes that lead into the sink cabinet. If you’re drilling new holes, refer to the new dishwasher’s manual to pinpoint the location and diameter of the holes. Use a power drill with a hole saw bit to cut the holes.

• If the electrical wiring for the dishwasher doesn’t run into the sink cabinet, you’ll only need to drill 2 holes.

Make sure the current is shut off to any electrical wiring for the dishwasher. If you’re replacing a  Dacor dishwasher that you’ve already removed, check your home’s electrical panel to ensure that the line that runs to the dishwasher is not carrying a current. In most modern panels, just flip the appropriately labeled switch to the off position.

• Unless you are fully certain of your abilities, hire a professional electrician to run any new wiring needed for your dishwasher installation.
• For extra certainty that particular electrical wires aren’t "hot" (electrified), buy a current tester at a home center. Some models require you to touch each wire to test them, while others only require you to hold the tester close to the wiring.

Plan your installation strategy based on the location of your Dacor dishwasher’s hookups. Many dishwashers, especially newer models, make the connections for the electrical, water supply, and drain lines at the lower front of the appliance. Others, however, including some newer models, make the connections at the rear of the appliance. Read the manual to determine which is the case for your dishwasher, because it will impact how you install the appliance.

• For a Dacor dishwasher with front hookups, you’ll have to slide the appliance into place before finalizing the connections. For a Dacor dishwasher with rear hookups, you need to finalize the connections before sliding the appliance into place.
