Installation Instructions

 

STEP 15  PRE-TEST CHECKLIST

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 in the literature package.

Read the Owner’s Manual for operating  instructions.

Check door opening and closing. If door does not

open and close freely or tends to fall, check spring
adjustments. See Step 1.

Check to be sure that wiring is secure under the
dishwasher, not pinched or in contact with door
springs or other components. See Step 9.

Check door alignment with tub. If door hits tub,
level dishwasher. See Step 10.

Pull lower rack out, about half way. Check to be
sure it does not roll back or forward on the door.
If the rack moves, adjust leveling legs. See Step 10.

Check door alignment with cabinet. If door hits cab-

inet, reposition or relevel dishwasher. See Step 10.

Verify water supply and drain lines are not kinked
or in contact with other components. Contact with
motor or dishwasher frame could cause noise. See
Step 8.

Turn on the sink hot water faucet and verify water
temperature. Incoming water temperature must be
between 120°F and 150°F. A minimum of 120°F tem-
perature is required for best wash performance.
See “Prepare Hot Water Line,” page 5.

Add 2 litres of water to the bottom of the  dish-
washer to lubricate the pump seal.

Turn on water supply. Check for leaks. Tighten con-
nections if needed.

Remove protective fi lm if present from the control
panel and door.

 STEP 14   CONNECT POWER 

SUPPLY

Skip this step if equipped with power cord. 
Verify that power is turned off at the source. 

• Remove junction box cover “A”.
• Locate the three dishwasher wires, (white, black

and green) with stripped ends. Insert dishwasher
wires through the small hole in the junction box “B”.

• Secure house wiring to the bottom of the junction

box with a strain relief “C”.

• Use wire nuts to connect incoming ground to green,

white to white and black to black “D”.

• Replace junction box cover “E”. Check to be sure

that wires are not pinched under the cover.

WARNING 

If house wiring is not 2-wire with 
ground, a ground must be provided 
by the installer. When house wiring 
is aluminum, be sure to use cUL/UL Listed 
anti-oxidant compound and aluminum-
to-copper connectors
