BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
WARNING
Remove all power leading to the appliance from the
circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning installation. Failure to do so can result in a risk of electrical shock.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or injury to persons, the installer must ensure that the dishwasher is completely enclosed at the time of installation.
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. If house wiring is not 2-wire with ground, a ground must be by the installer. When house wiring is aluminum, be sure to use UL-Listed anti-oxidant compound and aluminum-to-copper connectors.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or injury to persons, the installer should check to ensure that wires are not pinched or damaged, the house wiring is attached to the junction box bracket through a strain relief, and all electrical connections made at the time of install (wire nuts) are contained inside of the junction box cover.

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 push or pull the door in a partially open or closed position when moving the dishwasher. 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 is in 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. Check that the dishwasher is squarely positioned in the cabinet opening at both the top and the bottom of the appliance prior to mounting to the cabinet.
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 below. If the dishwasher door is opened when the edge of the door is against the face of the cabinet, dishwasher door damage and cabinet damage will occur.
