INSTALLATION
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. Unbuckle or cut the four straps securing the carton top.
2. 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 floor.
3. Put the straps and all of the packing materials from around the dishwasher inside the
carton top, inspecting them for any signs of damage.
4. Lift the dishwasher from the carton tray, and then place it on the floor. Put the tray into
the carton top.
5. Remove the bag that protects the dishwasher during shipping.
6. There is also packing inside the dishwasher that you may want to leave in place until
the dishwasher is installed.
7. Do not, under any circumstances, remove the sound-absorbent padding that
surrounds the exterior of the tub of the dishwasher.
Mechanical Inspection:
1. Check the plastic base assembly to ensure that it is intact.
2. Check the dishwasher’s feet to ensure they are in place and can be adjusted so you
can level 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 and operation of the hinges, as well as confirm the door is
properly secured to the dishwasher.
CAUTION
ALWAYS LIFT THE DISHWASHER TO MOVE IT.
Sliding it over rough surfaces can damage the dishwasher’s feet and
sliding the feet over finished surfaces can, in some cases, damage that
finish or the underlying surface.
