• Ensure any knockouts or plugs in the drain connection have been drilled out and a drain connection has been made.
• The drain hose joiner must not support the weight of excess hose material.
• Keep the drain hose as fully extended as possible to prevent sagging. Any excess length of drain hose should be kept on the dishwasher side of the highloop.
• If connecting the drain hose to the sink trap, ensure the highloop is a minimum of 6” (150 mm) higher than the drain hose joiner.
• Ensure any packaging or tape securing the racks or spray arms is removed from the drawer
• Water softener models only: adjust the water softener setting from the default setting to suit the water hardness of the area. See the Quick Start Guide and section “Water softener” in the Owner’s Manual.
• Turn on the power and water supplies, then open the drawer. You should hear a beep and see a program indicator light up on the internal control panel.
