Prepare dishwasher

WARNING

JENN-AIR UDT518SAFP - WARNING - 1
Tip Over Hazard

Do not use dishwasher until completely installed.

Do not push down on open door.

Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install dishwasher.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

  1. Grasp sides of dishwasher door frame and put dishwasher on its back.

  2. Remove four screws attaching toekick panel and lower panel to dishwasher using a Phillips screwdriver.

  3. Remove panels and set panels aside on a protective surface.

JENN-AIR UDT518SAFP - Excessive Weight Hazard - 1

text_image 4 toekick screws
  1. Apply thread seal tape to 90° elbow fitting and connect fitting to water inlet valve.
  2. Tighten elbow until snug, and be sure that it faces to the rear.
  3. Remove top screw and slide cover to the right to remove terminal box cover.

  4. If you are direct wiring: install a U.L.-listed/CSA-certified clamp connector to the terminal box. If using conduit, use a U.L.-listed/CSA-certified conduit connector.

  5. If you are installing a power supply cord kit, do so now, following kit instructions. The power supply cord kit must be U.L.-listed and marked for use with dishwashers (i.e. Power Supply Cord Kit part no. 4317824).

Helpful Tip: Put cardboard under dishwasher until it is installed in cabinet opening. The cardboard will help protect floor covering during installation.

  1. Measure height of cabinet opening from underside of countertop to floor where dishwasher will be installed (you need the lowest point).

JENN-AIR UDT518SAFP - Excessive Weight Hazard - 2

Check door spring tension

With another person holding the dishwasher to prevent it from tipping, open and close the door a few times. If the door closes too quickly or falls open under its own weight, the door tension will need to be adjusted.

  • If the door closes too quickly, decrease the spring tension by pulling the spring adjustment pin out of its hole and reinsert it in the next lower hole toward the bottom of the dishwasher.
  • If the door falls open, increase the spring tension by pulling the spring adjustment pin out of its hole and reinserting it in the next higher hole toward the top of the dishwasher.
  • Spring adjustment pins should be in the same holes on both the left and right sides.

Move dishwasher into cabinet opening

  1. Using two or more people, stand the dishwasher up.
  2. Grasp the sides of the dishwasher at the edges of the door panel.
  3. Move dishwasher close to cabinet opening. Do not push on the front of the panel or on the console—they may dent.

JENN-AIR UDT518SAFP - Move dishwasher into cabinet opening - 1

  1. If dishwasher has a power supply cord, insert power supply cord into hole cut into cabinet.

If using direct wire, check that it is on the right front side of opening.

  1. Check that water line is on the left side of opening and insert the drain hose through the hole in cabinet.

  2. Slowly mo ve dishwasher completely into cabinet opening so that the front corners of the dishwasher door are flush with the cabinet doors. Do not kink or pinch copper tubing, drain hose, power supply cord or direct wire between dishwasher and cabinet.

Helpful Tip: Once the dishwasher is in position, you may have to support the front of the dishwasher by raising, lowering or shimming front feet.

  1. Remo ve cardboard from under dishwasher.

NOTE: It is all right if dishwasher fits tightly into cabinet opening. Do not remove insulation blanket —the blanket reduces the sound level.

Level the dishwasher

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

Helpful Tip: Prop up one side of frame to hold dishwasher up off floor when adjusting front legs. With some installations, it may be easier to adjust the front leg using the 6" adjustable wrench.

JENN-AIR UDT518SAFP - Level the dishwasher - 1

natural_image Technical line drawings of two mechanical assembly components (no text or symbols)
  1. Check that leveling legs are firmly against the floor.

  2. Close and late h the door, and place level against the front panel. Check that dishwasher is plumb. If needed, adjust leveling leg or add shims until dishwasher is plumb.
