Installation Instructions
STEP 14 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 cabinet,
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 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.

SUPPLY
