Step 4: Check the Electrical Requirements and Cautions
The electrical requirements for the dishwasher are as follows:
In the United States, install in accordance with the National Electric Code/State and
Municipal codes and/or local codes.
For cable direct connections.
Use flexible, armored or non-metallic sheathed, copper wire with a
grounding wire that meets the wiring requirements for your local codes and
ordinances.
Use the strain relief method provided with the wiring junction box or install
a U.L.-listed/CSA-certified clamp connector to the wiring junction box. If
using conduit, use a U.L.-listed/CSA-certified conduit connector.

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, the operation of the hinges, and confirm the door is properly
secured to the dishwasher.

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.
