This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction
or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock
bg 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

tgpe receptacle in the sink cabinet rear wall, 6" min. or 18"
maximum from the opening, 6" to 18" above the floor
InstallationPreparation
PREPARE HOT WATER LINE
, The line may enter from either side, rear or floor within the
shaded area shown in Figure R
o The line maUpass through the same hole as the electrical
cable and drain hose. Or,cut an additional 1-!/2" diameter
hole to accommodate the water line. If power cord with plug
is used, water line must not pass through power cord hole.

STEP 13: PUSH DISHWASHER INTO
FINAL POSITION
, Check the tub insulation blanket, if equipped, to be sure it is
smoothly wrapped around the tub. It should not be "bunched
up" and it must not interfere with the door springs. If the
insulation is"bunched up" or interfering with the springs,
straighten and re-center the blanket prior to sliding the
dishwasher into its final position.
, Slide the dishwasher into the final position by pushing on
the sides of the door panel. Do not use a knee or push on the
center of the panel. If you do, damage to the panel will likely
result.
, The dishwasher isin the final position when the edges of
the front panel are flush with the adjacent cabinets and the
dishwasher is centered in the cabinet opening.
IMPORTANT - Before opening the dishwasher door,
be certain the edges of the dishwasher door panel are behind
the face of the adjacent cabinet and not up against the cabinet
face. Refer to Figure O. If the dishwasher door isopened
when the edge of the door is against the face of the cabinet,
dishwasher door damage and cabinet damage will occur.
, Open and close the dishwasher door to be sure it operates
smoothly, and does not rub on the adjacent cabinet.

STEP 3.4: LEVEL DISHWASHER
IMPORTANT- Dishwasher must be level for proper
dish rack operation, wash performance and door operation.
The dishwasher must be leveled left to right and front to back.
This assures the dish racks will not roll in or out on their own,
circulation water will flow to the pump inlet, and the door will
close without hitting the side of the tub.
, Remove the lower dish rack and place a level on the door and
lower rack track as shown in Figure R.
, Adjust the level of the dishwasher by individually turning the
four legs on the bottom of the dishwasher as illustrated in
Figure S.
, The dishwasher is properly leveled when the level indicator is
centered left to right and front to back. Also,the dishwasher
door should close without hitting the side of the tub.
, Replace the lower rack.

The dishwasher must be secured to the countertop or the
cabinet sides.When the underside of the countertop iswood,
use Method 1. Use Method 2when the underside of the
countertop is made of a material, such as granite, that will not
accept wood screws.
IMPORTANT- Prevent door panel and control panel
damage. Dishwasher must be positioned so the front panel
and control panel do not contact the adjacent cabinets or
countertop. Mounting screws must be driven straight and flush.
Protruding screw heads could scratch the door panel or control
panel and interfere with door operation.
Method 2
Secure dishwasher to underside of wood countertop.
, Recheck alignment of the dishwasher in the cabinet. Referto
Steps 13 and !4. Door panel and/or control panel must not
hit cabinets or countertop.

STEP 18: CONNECT POWER SUPPLY
If a power cord with plug is alreodg installed proceed to
Step 19.
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
Inthis step gou will need the junction box cover and the
#!0 Hex head screw from the screw kit set aside in Step !.
. Secure house wiring to the back of the junction box with a
strain relief.
. Locate the three dishwasher wires, (white, black and green)
with stripped ends. Insert dishwasher wires through the small
hole in the junction box bracket. Use UL listed wire nuts of
appropriate size to connect incoming ground to green, white
to white and black to black.
Install the junction box cover using #!0 hex head screw.

STEP 19: PRETEST CHECK LIST
Review this list after installing your dishwasher to avoid
charges for a service call that is not covered by your
warranty.
[] Check to be sure power is OFF.
[] Open door and remove all foam and paper packaging.
[] Locate the Owner's Manual set aside in Step !.
[] Read the Owner's Manual 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. If door drops or closes when released, adjust spring
tension. See Step 2,
[] Check to be sure that wiring is secure under the dishwasher,
not pinched or in contact with door springs or other
components. See Step !0.
[] Check door alignment with tub. If door hits tub, level
dishwasher. SeeSteps 14 and !5.
[] Pull lower rack out, about halfway. Check to be sure it does
not roll back or forward on the doon If the rack moves,
adjust leveling legs. See Step !4.
[] Check door alignment with cabinet. If door hits cabinet,
reposition dishwasher. SeeStep !5.
[] Check that door spring does not contact water line, fill hose,
wiring or other components. SeeStep !6.
[] Verify water supply and drain lines are not kinked or in
contact with other components. Contact with motor or
dishwasher frame could cause noise.
Figure AA
[] Turn on the sink hot water faucet and verify water
temperature. Incoming water temperature must
be between !20°F and !50°R A minimum of !20°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 supply. Check for leaks. Tighten connections
if needed.
[] Remove protective film if present from the control panel
and door.
Dishwasher Installation
STEP 20: DISHWASHER WET TEST
[] Turn on power suppl Uor plug power cord into outlet,
if equipped.
[] Latch door
[] Push"Rinse Onlu" pad.
[] PushStart/Reset pad one time. Dishwasher should start.
[] Check to be sure that water enters the dishwasher Ifwater
does not enter the dishwasher, check to be sure that water
and power are turned on.
[] Check for leaks under the dishwasher. If a leak is found,
turn off power at the breaker, and then tighten water
connections. Restore power after leak is corrected.
[] Check for leaks around the door. A leak around the door
could be caused bu door rubbing or hitting against
adjacent cabinets. Reposition the dishwasher if necessaru.
SeeStep !5.
[] The dishwasher will drain and turn off about 5 minutes after
it was started. Check drain lines. If leaks are found, turn off
power at the breaker and correct plumbing as necessaru.
Restore power after corrections are made. See Steps 7
and :!_7.
[] Open dishwasher door and make sure most of the water
has drained. If not, check that disposer plug has been
removed and/or air gap is not plugged. Also check drain
hose to be sure it is not kinked underneath or behind
dishwasher See Step !7.
[] PressStart/Reset pad once again and run dishwasher
through another "Rinse Only" cucle. Check for leaks and
correct if required.
