SECURE DISHWASHER

To secure the dishwasher to either the Countertop (Method 1) or Cabinet (Method 2), follow the instructions for the method specific to your installation.

Method 1 - Installation to Countertop

Secure the dishwasher to the countertop using the two mounting clips installed to the top of the dishwasher.

1. Open the dishwasher, remove the lower dish rack, and place a towel over the filters, located at the bottom of the tub, to prevent debris from falling into the pump system.
2. Check that the dishwasher is level and centered side to side in the opening so there is no interference with adjacent cabinets when opening or closing the door.

3. Check that the tub flange aligns with the front face of the cabinet frame.

4. Using two Phillips-head screw (provided), fasten the two mounting clips on the top of the dishwasher to the underside of the countertop.

Ⓐ #8 x 5/8" Phillips Flat-head Screw

1. Open the door about 3" (7.6 cm) and check that the space between the inner door and tub is equal on both sides.

2. If spacing is not equal, loosen the mounting clip screws and shift the tub. Retighten bracket screws.

3. Check that the top of the door does not contact the screws, mounting clips or countertop. If it does, the dishwasher must be lowered and leveled again. See "Level The Dishwasher."

NOTES

• Drive the screws straight and flush. Protruding screw heads will scratch the top of the control panel and can interfere with door closing.

• If spacing is not equal, loosen the bracket screws and shift the tub. Retighten the bracket screws.

• Remove towel from dishwasher.

• Reinstall the lower dish rack.

Method 2 - Installation to Adjacent Cabinets

Secure the dishwasher to the adjacent cabinets using the side mounting brackets.

1. Open the dishwasher, remove the lower dish rack, and place a towel over the filters, located at the bottom of the tub, to prevent debris from falling into the pump system.

2. Insert a mounting clip into the slot (one on each side) of the dishwasher.

PRE-TEST CHECKLIST

1. Check that the power is OFF.
2. Check door opening and closing. If door does not open and close freely or tends to fall, check spring adjustments. See "Check Door Balance."
3. Check that wiring is secure under the dishwasher, not pinched or in contact with door springs or other components. See "Position the Water Line and House Wiring."
4. Check door alignment with tub. If door hits tub, level dishwasher. See "Level Dishwasher."
5. Pull out the lower rack, about halfway. Check that the rack does not roll back into the dishwasher or forward onto the door. If the rack moves, adjust leveling legs. See "Level the Dishwasher."
6. Check door alignment with cabinet. If door hits cabinet, reposition or level the dishwasher. See "Level the Dishwasher."
7. Verify that the water supply and drain lines are not kinked or in contact with other components.
8. Turn on the sink hot water faucet and verify water temperature. Incoming water temperature must be between 120^ F and 150^ F ( 49^ C and 65^ C). A minimum of 120^ F ( 49^ C) temperature is required for best wash performance.
9. Add 2 quarts (1.9 L) of water to the bottom of the dishwasher to lubricate the pump seal.
10. Turn on water supply. Check for leaks. Tighten connections if needed.
11. Remove protective film, if present, from the control panel and door.

TEST DISHWASHER

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

• Electrically ground dishwasher.
- Connect ground wire to green ground connector in terminal box.

If connecting with a power cord:

• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
• Do not use an adapter.
• Do not remove the ground prong from the power cord plug.
• Do not use an extension cord.

• Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

• If using a direct wire cable, turn on power at source.

• If using a power cord, plug cord into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Make sure the power cord does not touch the motor or the lower part of the dishwasher tub, and then turn on power at source.

• Connect to power supply.

• On the Control Panel, press the controls needed to start the shortest cycle. See the User Manual for instructions.
• Firmly close the dishwasher door within 4 seconds of pressing START.

• After the first 2 minutes, open the door. Check to see that there is water in the bottom of the dishwasher tub. If water has not entered the dishwasher, check that the water and power supplies are turned on.

• Check for leaks under the dishw asher. If a leak is found, turn power and water supply off, then tighten connections. Restore power after leak is corrected.

• Check for leaks around the door. A leak around the door could be caused by door rubbing or hitting against adjacent cabinetry. Reposition the dishwasher, if necessary.
• When the dishwasher is draining, check the drain lines. If leaks are found, turn power off at the breaker and correct plumbing as necessary. Restore power after corrections are made.
• Open dishwasher door and make sure most of the water has drained. If not, check that disposal plug has been removed and/or air gap is not plugged. Also check drain line for kinking.
• Run the dishwasher through another fill and drain cycle. Check for leaks and correct, if needed.

REPLACE THE KICK PLATE

1. Place the kick plat e against the legs of the dishwasher. The slots in the kick plate should align with the screw holes in the bracket. Allow the bottom edge of the kick plate to touch the floor.
2. Using screws (provided), fasten the kickplate to the dishwasher.
