NOTES:
• Do not drop screws into bottom of dishwasher.
If side mounting, you must drill pilot holes in cabinet to avoid
splitting the wood before installing screws. Locate brackets
on top of dishwasher and secure dishwasher to countertop
with two #10 x 1/2"Phillips-head screws (included). The
dishwasher must be secured to keep it from shifting when
door is opened.
Check side attachment
Check that top of door does not contact screws, brackets or
countertop. If it does, adjust leveling legs.
Open door and check that space between dishwasher cabinet
opening and tub is equal on both sides. If spacing is not equal,
loosen bracket screws secured and shift tub. Tighten bracket
screws.
If securing with a side attachment, check that sides of door do not
rub against the screw heads. If they do, dishwasher must be
re-centered. When dishwasher is properly centered, replace
plastic buttons.
Remove towel from dishwasher. Reinstall the lower dish rack.

Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Reconnect Power
• Read the Dishwasher User Instructions that came with your
dishwasher.
Check that all parts have been installed and no steps were
skipped. Check that you have all tools used.
Start dishwasher and allow it to complete the shortest wash
cycle. After the first 2 minutes, unlatch door, wait 5 seconds,
then open door. Check that there is water in the bottom of the
dishwasher tub. Check that dishwasher is working properly.
If the dishwasher is not working properly, disconnect power or
unplug dishwasher and see "If Dishwasher Does Not Operate"
section.

First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid the cost of
a service call.
• 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?
If none of these possible solutions work, please see your Use and
Care Guide for service contact information.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Check that power supply
cord does not touch dishwasher motor or lower part of
dishwasher tub.
Expect longer wash times. Your new dishwasher will average
2-3 hours per load, but use nearly 40% less energy than older
models. Designed with a low wattage, low energy consumption
motor, your dishwasher washes longer to ensure exceptional
cleaning. Certain models are equipped with an optical water
sensor so the first cycle will run longer to calibrate to optical
sensor. Selecting certain options could increase cycle time past
3.5 hours.
Rinse Aid is necessary for good drying results:
This dishwasher is designed to be used with rinse aid for good
drying performance and controlling hard water deposit buildup.
Energy efficient dishwashers use less water and energy, so they
depend on the water sheeting action of rinse aid for good drying
performance.
Start/Resume light may flash:
When pressing Start/Resume, you must make sure the door is
closed within 3 seconds. If you do not close the door within
3 seconds, the Start/Resume light will flash until you press it
again. (You must also do this when adding a dish during the
middle of a cycle.)
NOTE: If a braided supply hose is used, replace inlet hose after
5 years to reduce the risk of hose failure. Record hose installation
or replacement dates on the hose for future reference.
