Prepare dishwasher

WARNING
Tip Over Hazar

• Do not use dishwasher until completely installed.
• Do not push down on open door.
• Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.

WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazar
Use two people to move and install dishwasher.
Failure to do so may result in back or other injury.

1. Put dishwasher corner posts A behind dishwasher. Grasp sides of dishwasher door frame and put dishwasher on its back.

2. Remove two top screws B and two bottom screws © attaching access panel D and lower panel E to dishwasher using a 1/4″ hex socket, nut driver or Phillips screwdriver. Remove panels and set panels aside on a protective surface. Check that grounding clip € stays attached to access panel. HELPFUL TIP
   Hold water valve mounting bracket G with pliers while attaching elbow to water inlet valve .

3. Apply Teflon tape or pipe joint compound H to 90° elbow fitting I and connect fitting to water inlet valve J. Hold bracket G with pliers. Tighten elbow until snug, and be sure that it faces to the rear.

4. Remove terminal box cover K. Pull appliance wires L through hole in terminal box.
   If you are direct wiring: install a U.L.- listed/CSA-certified clamp connector M to the terminal box. If using conduit, use a U.L.-listed/CSA-certified conduit connector.
   If you are installing a power supply cord kit, do so now and follow kit instructions. HELPFUL TIP : Put cardboard under dishwasher until it is installed in cabinet opening. The cardboard will help protect floor covering during installation.

5. Measure height of cabinet opening from underside of countertop to floor where dishwasher will be installed N (you need the lowest point). Check chart for that height opening. Put wheels O in the required position.

6. Stand dishwasher upright

7. Grasp the dishwasher door frame P. Tilt dishwasher backwards on wheels  Q. Move dishwasher close to cabinet opening. Do not push on dishwasher panels or console— they may dent.

8. If dishwasher has a power supply cord, insert power supply cord into hole cut into cabinet.

9. Check that water line is on the left side of opening and drain hose is near the center of opening. If using direct wire, check that it is on the right side of opening.

10. Carefully move dishwasher completely into cabinet opening. Do not kink or pinch copper tubing, drain hose, power supply cord or direct wire between dishwasher and cabinet.
    Center dishwasher in opening.

11. Remove cardboard from under dishwasher.
    HELPFUL TIP
    It is okay if dishwasher fits tightly into cabinet opening. Do not remove insulation blanket— it acts as a sound barrier.

12. Align front of dishwasher console B with countertop edge ©. You may need to adjust alignment to look good with your cabinets.
    HELPFUL TIP : Prop up one side of frame to hold dishwasher up off floor when adjusting front legs.

13. Check that leveling legs T are firmly against the floor. Place level on the rack guide Uon one side of the dishwasher tub. Check that dishwasher is level from front to back. Adjust leveling leg or add shims under rear wheel until dishwasher is level. Repeat for other side of dishwasher.
    Place level against top front opening of tub V. Check that dishwasher is level from side to side. If dishwasher is not level, adjust front legs up or down until dishwasher is level.

Connect Dishwasher

Electrical Connection

Check electrical requirements (see pages 4-6). You need to:

• Have the correct electrical supply and recommended grounding method.
• Check that power supply is disconnected.

1. Direct wire method
   Route direct wire so that it does not touch dishwasher motor or lower part of dishwasher tub. Pull direct wire A through hole in terminal box. HELPFUL TIP

• Select the proper size twist-on connectors to connect your household wiring to 16-gauge dishwasher wiring.
• Insert wire ends into twist-on connector. Do not pre-twist bare wire.
• Twist connector.
• Gently tug on wires to be sure both are secured.

1. WARNING
   Electrical Shock Hazard Electrically ground dishwasher. Connect ground wire to green ground connector in terminal box. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to do so can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

2. Connect the wires B as follows using twist-on connectors C sized to connect direct wire to 16-gauge dishwasher wire
   Form bare, ground wire D into a U-shaped hook. Wrap ground wire hook clockwise around ground connector E and under the washer F. Securely tighten ground connector E.

3. Tighten clamp connector or conduit connector screws G.

4. Reinstall terminal box cover H with wires inside terminal box. Go to step 5.

Power supply cord method

1. WARNING

• Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
• Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

3. Put the tubing into the elbow as far as it will go.

4. Slide the nut and ferrule forward and start the nut onto the elbow threads O. Be careful when handling and positioning the copper tubing. It bends and kinks easily. HELPFUL TIP : Hold water valve mounting bracket with pliers while attaching copper tubing.

5. To prevent vibration during operation, route the water supply line so that it does not touch the dishwasher base, frame or motor.
   With copper tubing L pushed into compression fitting as far as it will go, use an adjustable wrench and tighten compression fitting nut K to elbow N  on water inlet valve.

6. Place paper towel under elbow. Turn on water supply and check for leaks.
   Drain Connection

7. Route drain hose to avoid contact with motor, door springs, water line, cabinet or flooring. Insert a cloth, putty or caulking compound in hole around drain hose where hose passes through cabinet to help minimize vibration noise.

8. Place a shallow pan P (pie or cake pan) under drain connector Q. Remove drain hose connector cap R. Put the drain hose clamp S onto the connector.

9. Push drain hose T onto connector Q up to the stops U on connector.

10. Use pliers to open clamp S and slide clamp over drain hose T and connector Q. Release clamp and check that the drain hose is held securely on connector.

Secure Dishwasher

  WARNING
Tip Over Hazard

• Do not use dishwasher until completely installed
• Do not push down on open door.
• Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.

1. Open dishwasher door and place towel A over pump assembly and spray arm of dishwasher. This will prevent screws from falling into pump area when securing dishwasher to countertop.
2. Check that dishwasher is still level.
3. Secure dishwasher to countertop with two, No. 10 x 1/2″ Phillips-head screws B. The dishwasher MUST be secured to keep it from tipping when door is opened. Do Not drop screws into bottom of dishwasher.
4. Open door about 3 inches (7.6cm) and check that space between inner door and tub is equal on both sides. If spacing is not equal, loosen bracket screws and shift tub. Tighten bracket screws. Remove paper or towel from dishwasher.
5. Open and close the door several times. The door should open and close easily. If the door closes too quickly, decrease the spring C tension by moving the spring end D toward the front of the dishwasher. If the door falls open, increase the spring tension by moving the spring end toward the back of the dishwasher. Springs should be in the same notches on left and right sides.

Check Operation

1. Read the Owner’s Manual that came with your dishwasher.
2. Check that all parts have been installed and no steps were skipped. Check that you have all the tools you used.
3. At fuse box or circuit breaker, turn on electrical power supply to dishwasher. Start dishwasher and allow it to complete the “Water Miser” cycle. Check that dishwasher is working properly and that there are no water looke
4. Check that grounding clip E is attached to the access panel. Put lower panel in place and start screws through lower panel holes and into dishwasher frame. Do not tighten. Slide access panel over and down onto screws. Reinstall screws through holes in top of access panel. Check that bottom edge of lower panel contacts the floor. Tighten lower access panel screws.

If dishwasher does not operate

• Has the circuit breaker tripped or the house fuse blown?
• Is the door closed tightly and latched? Has the cycle been set correctly to start the dishwasher?
• Is the water turned on?
