Dishwasher Installation
#282 French
If house wiring is not 2-wire with a ground
wire, a ground must be provided by the
installer.
When house wiring is aluminum, be
sure to use U.L. listed anti-oxidant compound
and aluminum-to-copper connectors.
STEP 17: INSTALL JUNCTION BOX COVER
If junction box cover is already installed, skip to
Step 18.
In this step you will need the junction box cover and
the #10 hex head screw from the screw kit set aside
in Step 1.
• Install the junction box cover using the #10 hex
head screw. Check to be sure that wires are not
pinched under the cover.

Open the dishwasher door and remove all foam
and cardboard packaging.

Read the Owner’s Manual to familiarize yourself
with the operation of the dishwasher.

Check to be sure that the wiring is secure

contact with door springs or other dishwasher
components.

Check that the door spring does not contact the
water line, fill hose, or adjacent cabinets. See

Pull lower rack about halfway out. Check to be
sure it does not roll back into dishwasher or
further out. If it does, re-level the dishwasher.

adjacent cabinets. If it does, reposition the
dishwasher. See Step 13
