STEP 5
UNPACKING AND INSPECTING THE DISHWASHER
Unbox the dishwasher in an open area free of obstruction both around the carton and overhead. We
recommend that you retain the carton and all of the packing materials until the dishwasher is fully installed
and operational to ensure you have removed all the product’s components from the carton prior to disposal.
Unboxing
1.
Position the carton right-side-up with top arrows pointing upwards.
2.
Unbuckle or cut the four straps securing the carton top.
3.
Lift the top of the telescoping carton clear of the carton tray and the contents, and then turn
it over and place it on the fl oor.
4.
Put the straps and all of the packing materials from around the dishwasher inside the carton
top, inspecting them for any signs of damage.
5.
Locate and set aside the dishwasher's kick plate. The Kick plate is attached to packing
material of the dishwasher.
6.
Lift the dishwasher from the carton tray, and then place it on the fl oor.
Put the tray into the carton top.
7.
Remove the bag that protects the dishwasher during shipping.
ALWAYS LIFT THE Dishwasher TO MOVE IT. Sliding it over rough surfaces can damage the
dishwasher’s feet and sliding the feet over fi nished surfaces can, in some cases, damage
that fi nish or the underlying surface.
8.
There is also packing inside the dishwasher that you may want to leave in place until the
dishwasher is installed.
9. DO
NOT
, under any circumstances, remove the sound-absorbent padding that surrounds
the exterior of the tub of the dishwasher.
Inspecting
Mechanical

2.

and secure the dishwasher.
3.
Check all the visible components on the bottom of the dishwasher to ensure they are intact
and secure.
4.
Check the door latch, the operation of the hinges, and confi rm the door is properly secured
to the dishwasher.
