Before Using Your Dishwasher

Install where dishwasher is protected from the elements.

Such ruptures are not covered by the warranty. See “Storing” 
in the “Dishwasher Care” section for winter storage 
information.

Install and level dishwasher on a floor that will hold the 
weight, and in an area suitable for its size and use.

Remove all shipping plugs from hoses and connectors (such 
as the cap on the drain outlet) before installing. See 
Installation Instructions for complete information.

in terminal box.
