WARNING!
Before working on wiring for any electrical appliance,
be sure the electrical power has been turned off at the
breaker/fuse box.
WARNING!
Disconnect electrical power supply and place a tag at
the disconnect switch indicating that you are working on
the circuit.
WARNING!
Electrical and grounding connections must comply with
the applicable portions of the national electrical code
and/or other local electrical codes.
The dishwasher comes with an electrical
cord for 120 volts, 15 amp supplied. This
cord should be plugged into the 120 volt
outlet under the sink.
If the cord is not long enough, or if a hard-wire installation
is needed, follow instructions on page 10.
This unit must be grounded to operate properly. It must be
connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system,
or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with
the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-
grounding terminal or lead of the appliance.
Damage to the dishwasher could occur if it is not properly
grounded.
WARNING!
Make sure the water supply line, drain line and branch
circuit wiring do not touch any exposed terminals of
dishwasher wiring.
NOTE:
Access holes should be 1-5/8” to 2” (41 mm to 50 mm)
in diameter with no sharp edges.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
At this point the styrofoam, plastic wrap, and the wood
pallet (base) should be removed from the dishwasher.
Now is an excellent time to inspect for any shipping
damage. Should you find any damage, you should report
it to your dealer or builder
immediately
.
Be sure to remove the toe kick and toe kick insulation (only
on certain models) from the top of the dishwasher.
SLIDES FOR LEGS
The unit comes with white plastic slides for the legs to
protect the kitchen floor from being
damaged when you slide the unit into
place. The slides simply snap onto the
bottom of the legs.
Protective slides for legs simply
snap onto the bottom of the legs.
TRIM STRIP INSTALLATION
Install the optional Fill kit seen on page 6 if desired (FI
models only). Use the screws that come with the fill kit to
attach the side and top trim pieces to the unit.

PREPARING THE DISHWASHER FOR INSTALLATION
Warning!
Do not use an extension cord for this appliance.
ADJUSTING THE DOOR SPRINGS
Before you install the unit into the cabinet, open the door
to make sure it stays open at
any angle. If it tends to fall
down or snap shut, pull out the
machine and tension the door
springs on the sides of the
machine by moving them one
hole farther back or by twisting
the spring to make it shorter.
The accessory door panel or
custom wood panel must be
installed on FI dishwashers to properly adjust tension on
the door springs. If that doesn’t resolve the problem, you
may need to purchase the heavy-duty door springs (part
number 8076163-77).
NOTE:
If the door panel weighs more than 15 pounds, you may
need to order the heavy-duty door springs. (See page
5.)
