CUSTOM PANEL INSTALLATION

(CUSTOM PANEL MODELS ONLY)

For custom panel installation, refer to the Custom Panel Installation Instruction Sheet (Part Number W10750117A). Complete custom panel installation before proceeding to the "Choose Anchor Attachment Method" section.

CHOOSE ANCHOR ATTACHMENT METHOD

IMPORTANT: The dishwasher must be secured to the cabinet as one of the final steps. Prepare the dishwasher for this by attaching the 2 brackets found in the parts bag to the dishwasher.

  • For countertops that are wood, laminate or another similar surface, use Countertop Attachment: go to Step 37.
  • For countertops that are marble, granite, or another hard surface, use Side Attachment: go to Step 38.

NOTE: If the gap between the top of the door and the underside of the counter top is tight (less than 14 " [6,35 mm]), we suggest using Side Attachment to keep from scratching the User Interface or console with the anchor screws.

CHECK OPERATION

  • Read the dishwasher User Guide that came with your dishwasher.
    ■Check that all parts have been installed and no steps were skipped. Check that you have all tools used.

If the dishwasher is not working properly, disconnect power or unplug dishwasher and refer to the “If Dishwasher Does Not Operate” section.

IF DISHWASHER DOES NOT OPERATE

First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.

■Has the circuit breaker tripped or the house fuse blown?
■Is the door closed tightly and latched?
■Has the cycle been set correctly to start the dishwasher?
■Is the water turned on?

If none of these possible solutions work, please see the User Guide for service contact information.

ADDITIONAL TIPS

Expect longer wash times. Your new dishwasher will average 2-5 hours per load but use nearly 40% less energy than older models. Designed with a low wattage, low energy consumption motor, your dishwasher washes longer to ensure exceptional cleaning. Certain models are equipped with an optical water sensor, so the first cycle will run longer to calibrate to optical sensor. Selecting certain options could increase cycle time past 3.5 hours.

Rinse Aid is necessary for good drying results:

This dishwasher is designed to be used with rinse aid for good drying performance and controlling hard water deposit buildup. Energy efficient dishwashers use less water and energy, so they depend on the water sheeting action of rinse aid for good drying performance.

Start/Resume light may flash:

When pressing Start/Resume, you must make sure the door is closed within 3 seconds. If you do not close the door within 3 seconds, the Start/Resume light will flash until you press it again. (You must also do this when adding a dish during the middle of a cycle.)
