36. Pull slack from utilities

NOTE: Pull slack out of utilities at the same time the dishwasher is pushed into the cabinet opening to avoid any kinks.

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 1/4 [6,35 mm]), we suggest using Side Attachment to keep from scratching the User Interface or console with the anchor screws.

Countertop Attachment:

37. Insert bracket

Remove the brackets from the package, and insert into the open slots on the left- and right-hand top of the dishwasher collar as shown. Go to Step 41.

Bend tab

Using pliers, bend/twist tab to lock the brackets in place.

Side Attachment:

38. Break end of bracket

Break off the end of the bracket along the scored line using pliers.

39. Remove plastic buttons

Push the plastic buttons out of the side of the tub.

NOTE: Save the buttons to cover the holes after dishwasher is installed.

40. Install bracket

Push bracket into slot on the side of dishwasher, and bend tab in toward the side of the dishwasher so that it keeps the bracket in place. Repeat this step for the other side of the dishwasher.

NOTE: Install wood shims to the inside of the cabinets if the gap between the sides of the cabinet and the sides of the dishwasher are greater than 1/2 (13 mm) on each side.

NOTE: Do not attach the dishwasher. This will be done later.

FINAL INSTALLATION CHECK

41. Open and close door

42. Door spring tension adjustment

If door closes too quickly or falls, open and adjust spring tension.

To adjust the door spring tension, remove the white plastic rope end attached to the door hinge. Using a 5/16 nut driver or hex socket, remove the screw from the tensioner. The screw can be put into one of 3 holes (1, 2, 3) in the front leg of the dishwasher.

If the door closes by itself: Move the tensioner to a lower-numbered hole and replace the screw. Reattach the white plastic rope end to the door hinge.

If the door opens by itself: Move the tensioner to a higher numbered hole and replace the screw. Reattach the white plastic rope end to the door hinge.

NOTE: Tensioners on both sides of dishwasher should be secured at same holes.

43. Align front of dishwasher with front of cabinet doors

Align front of dishwasher door panel with front of cabinet doors. You may need to adjust alignment to be even with your cabinets.

Check that leveling legs are firmly against the floor. Close and latch the door and place level against the front panel. Check that dishwasher is centered from front to back in the opening. If needed, adjust leveling leg until dishwasher is plumb. Repeat for other side of dishwasher.

Helpful Tip: Push up on front of dishwasher to raise dishwasher off the ground to adjust front legs. With some installations, it may be easier to adjust the front leg using a 3/16'' hex head socket or adjustable wrench. If the gap between the top of the door and the underside of the counter top is tight (less than 1/4'' [6 mm]), we suggest side anchoring to keep from scratching the User Interface or console.

Place level against top front opening of tub. Check that dishwasher is level from side to side. If dishwasher is not level, adjust front legs up or down until dishwasher is level.

SECURE DISHWASHER IN CABINET OPENING

Check that dishwasher is still level front to back and side-to-side in the cabinet opening.

Open dishwasher door and place towel over pump assembly and spray arm of dishwasher. This will keep screws from falling into pump area when you are securing dishwasher to cabinet.

Open dishwasher door to prepare for securing the dishwasher to the countertop or side cabinet.

NOTES:

The dishwasher must be secured to keep it from shifting when the door is opened or closed.
Do not drop screws into bottom of dishwasher.
■Locate brackets installed in the "Choose Anchor Attachment Method" section, either on top or on the sides of the dishwasher.

If countertop anchoring: Secure dishwasher to the countertop with two # 10 × 1 / 2 Phillips-head screws (included).
If side anchoring: Drill pilot holes in cabinet to avoid splitting the wood. Secure dishwasher to cabinet with two # 10x^1 / 2 Phillips-head screws (included). Remove upper rack for easier access. See the Use and Care Guide for instructions how to remove the upper rack if needed.

IMPORTANT: Check that top of door does not contact screws, brackets, or countertop. If it does, adjust leveling legs or use the side attachment option.

Open door and check that space between dishwasher cabinet opening and tub is equal on both sides. If spacing is not equal, loosen bracket screws and shift tub. Tighten bracket screws.

If side attachment method was used, reinstall the gray plastic buttons removed in Step 39 to hide the screw holes.

DIRECT WIRE CONNECTION

Use a 1/4'' nut driver or 1/4'' hex head socket wrench to remove the screw that holds the terminal box to the cross brace. Then, tilt the terminal box, free the tab, and lift the terminal box away from the crossbar.

Remove the cover by sliding it up and lifting its hooks out of the slots. Retain cover for later use.

There should be adequate length in the wires to pull the terminal box out from under the dishwasher. Lift the wires off of the nearby clips or components to extend the length of wire harness for easier access.

Form bare ground wire into a U-shaped hook. Wrap ground wire hook clockwise around the ground connector screw on the raised floor inside the box and under the dishwasher. Securely tighten ground connector.

56. Direct wire - connect remaining wires

Select UL Listed/CSA Approved twist-on wire connectors of the proper size. See the "Tools and Parts" section at the front of the guide for part details. Connect wires, black-to-black and white-to-white, using the twist-on wire connectors.

NOTE: Do not pre-twist stranded wire. Twist on wire connector. Gently tug on wires to be sure both are secured.

57. Direct wire - reinstall terminal box cover and wires

Place wires inside terminal box. Replace the cover by inserting the hooks of the terminal cover into the slots in the floor of the terminal box and sliding the cover tight against the back wall where wires come in. Make sure wires are tucked inside the box and not pinched by the cover.

Put the terminal box back on the crossbar with the tab in place. Use a 1/4'' nut driver and the screw removed in Step 51 to secure the terminal box to the crossbar.

Once the terminal box has been remounted on the dishwasher, tuck any excess length or slack over nearby components or clip them back into the nearby clips to help keep them off the floor.

CONNECT WATER LINE TO HOUSE SHUT-OFF VALVE

NOTE: If using a flexible braided hose, replace inlet hose after 5 years to reduce the risk of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement dates on the hose for future reference.

58. Attach water supply line

Attach the water supply line (copper tubing or flexible braided line) to the hot water line using a connection configuration that is in compliance with local codes and ordinances. The water supply to the dishwasher should have a manual shut-off valve located under the sink.

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.)
