Overview of Installation
The owner should contract with qualified personnel to
move the appliance to the installation location, unpack
it, and prepare it for final utility connections. In most
cases, local codes prevent the final utility connections
from being made by any party other than a licensed
electrician and/or plumber.
IMPORTANT
It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all
aspects of the installation comply with all applicable
local and national codes.
IMPORTANT
The appliance’s warranty is not valid until a MEIKO
Authorized Service Agent performs a Startup and
Demonstration on the appliance. This Demonstration
should be scheduled after installation.
Installation of the dishwasher involves the following
steps:
•
Verifying that the utility connections are present,
are appropriate for the appliance, and comply with
all applicable local and national codes.
•
Unwrapping the appliance (leaving the shipping skid
in place for easier movement) and checking for
shipping damage.
•
Moving the appliance to the installation location,
removing the skid, and leveling the feet.
•
Connecting the electrical supply.
•
Connecting the fresh water supply.
•
Positioning the drain hose.
•
Connecting the warewasher’s detergent and rinse
aid tubes to appropriate dispensers.
•
Priming the detergent and rinse aid pumps.
•
Contacting your MEIKO Authorized Service Agent
to perform a Startup and Demonstration on the
appliance. This step also validates the appliance’s
warranty.

Requirements Before Installation
Before the installer can uncrate and move the appliance
to the installation location, the following conditions
MUST be met:
•
INSTALLATION AREA REQUIREMENTS
-
The area MUST be frost-free. Freezing
temperatures (32°F/0°C or lower) inhibit proper
operation and can damage internal
components.
-
The area MUST have a firm floor surface. It is
possible to compensate for uneven flooring by
adjusting the feet.
-
The area should be away from appliances,
furniture or surfaces that can be damaged by
steam. If this is not possible, these items
should be protected from the small quantities
of steam that are released during normal
operation of the dishwasher.
•
UTILTITY CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS
-
Connections must be present and ready for
hookup to the appliance. All utility supplies must
comply with the electrical information labels,
with the information on the data plate, and with
all applicable local and national codes.
-
Electrical leads and the water supply hose
(supplied by the customer) must be present.
-
Appropriate chemical dispensing containers
should be installed and ready for connection
to the appliance.
•
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Authorized personnel should be available to perform
the actual utility connections.
