Uncrating, Positioning and Leveling
CAUTION
Some water may remain in the lines after pre-shipping
testing. During shipping and installation, the dishwasher
should ONLY be positioned upright.
1.
Remove all shipping and packaging material from
the appliance, including supports and wrappings.
Leave the shipping skid in place at this time to
allow for easier movement to the installation
location.
2.
Check for shipping damage as described in Section
2, “Transport and Shipping.” If damage is present,
call MEIKO Customer Service at
1-800-868-3840
, providing full details on the
customer, serial number and extent of damage
present. MEIKO will file a freight claim based on
this information.
3.
Move the appliance to the installation area and
remove the skid. Use caution to avoid damaging
the appliance or any of its components.
4.
Check that the plastic feet are attached to each of
the four adjustable leg bolts. If necessary, attach
them by pressing them firmly onto the end of the
bolts.
5.
Using a spirit level, check that the appliance is
level in both directions (front-to-back AND side-to-
side). If necessary, rotate the leg bolts to level the
appliance.
CAUTION
The dishwasher MUST be level for proper operation.

Accessing the Utility Connections
Utility connections are accessible on the lower rear of
the dishwasher. See Figure 3-1. In most cases, local
codes prevent the final utility connections from being
made by any party other than a licensed electrician
and/or plumber.
