Electrical Requirements
• This appliance must be supplied with 120V, 60Hz.,and
connected to an individual properl9 grounded branch circuit
protected by a 15or 20 ampere circuit breaker or time delag
fuse.
• Wiring must be 2 wire with ground and rated for 75°C(176°F).
• If the electrical supply does not meet the above
requirements, call a licensed electrician before proceeding.
Grounding Instructions-Cable 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.
Grounding Instructions-Power 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.
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.

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 bg a qualified technician.
Cabinet Preparation and Wire Routing
• The wiring mag enter the opening from either side, rear or the
floor within the shaded area.
• Cut a 1-1/2" max. diameter hole to admit the electrical cable.
Cable direct connections mag 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.
Electrical Connection to Dishwasher
Electrical connection is on the right front of dishwasher.
• Forcable direct connections the cable must be routed as
shown in Figure E.Cable must extend a minimum of 24" from
the rear wall.
• Forpower cord connections, install a B-prong grounding type
receptacle in the sink cabinet rear wall, 6" min. or 18" max.

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" diameter
hole to accommodate the water line. If power cord with plug
isused, water line must not pass through power cord hole.

Positioning for PDW9200-PDW9900,
CDW9000 Series
The controls on these models are designed to be hidden bg
gour countertop. Align the dishwasher as shown in Figure
U.Leave a 1/2" minimum gap between the underside of the
countertop and the top of the dishwasher door as shown in
Figure X.
Note: Forflush installations of the PDW9700 Seriesmodels,
cut off the back panel of the tub insulation blanket so that the
dishwasher door panel can be aligned with the kitchen cabinet
panels.
Note: If the drain hose gets trapped behind the unit it can
prevent the controls from being hidden by the countertop.
Note: If this dishwasher is replacing an existing dishwasher, the
old countertop bracket screw holes may not be in the correct
position to accept a top-control model. New holes may be
required.
Tip: The leveling legs can be used to increase or decrease
the amount of gap between the controls and the countertop
affecting the visibility of the controls.

[] Check to be sure power is OFF.
[] Open door and remove all foam and paper packaging.
[] Locate the Owner's Manual in the user bag.
[] Readthe Owner's Hanual for operating instructions.
[] Check door opening and closing. If door does not open and
close freelg, check for proper routing of spring cable over
pulleg. See Step 2,Figure H.If door drops or closes when
released, adjust spring tension.
[] Check to be sure that wiring is secure under the dishwasher,
not pinched or in contact with door springs or other
components. See Steps 9 and 10.
[] Check door alignment with tub. If door hits tub, level
dishwasher. See Step 12.
[] Pulllower rack out, about halfwag. Check to be sure it does
not roll back or forward on the doon If the rack moves,
adjust leveling legs. SeeStep 12.
[] Check door alignment with cabinet. If door hits cabinet,
reposition or relevel dishwashe_ SeeSteps 11, 12 and 13.
[] Check that door spring does not contact water line, fill hose,
wiring or other components. See Step 14.
If house wiring is not 2-wire with ground, a
ground must be provided bg the installer.
When house wiring isaluminum, be sure to
use ULListed anti-oxidant compound and
aluminum- to-copper connectors
[] Verifu water supplu and drain lines are not kinked or in
contact with other components. Contact with motor or
dishwasher frame could cause noise. SeeSteps 7 and 9.
[] Turn on the sink hot water faucet and verifu water
temperature. Incoming water temperature must
be between 120°Fand 150°R A minimum of 120°F
temperature is required for best wash performance. See
"Prepare Hot Water Line,"page 5.
[] Add 2 quarts of water to the bottom of the dishwasher to
lubricate the pump seal.
[] Turn on water supplu. Check for leaks. Tighten connections
if needed.
[] Remove protective film if present from the control panel
and doon
[] Avoid service call charges bg ensuring there is an air gap
or drain hose routed through the required 32" minimum
height.
