The dishwasher comes with an electrical
cord for 110-120 volts, 15/20 amp supplied.
This cord should be plugged into the 110-
120 volt outlet under the sink.
If the cord is not long enough, or if a hard-wire
installation is needed, follow instructions on page 7.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This unit must be grounded to operate properly. It must
be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring
system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must
be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the
equipment-grounding terminal or lead of the appliance.
PREPARING THE DISHWASHER FOR INSTALLATION
At this point the styrofoam, plastic wrap, and the wood
pallet (base) should be removed from the dishwasher.
Now is an excellent time to inspect for any shipping
damage. Should you find any damage, you should
report it to your dealer or builder immediately.
Be sure to remove the toe kick and toe kick insulation
which are wrapped in heavy brown paper and packed
inside or on top of the dishwasher.
SLIDES FOR REAR LEGS
The unit comes with two white plastic slides for the rear
legs to protect the kitchen floor from being damaged
when you slide the unit into place. The slides simply
snap onto the bottom of the rear legs.
Protective slides for rear
legs simply snap onto the
bottom of the legs.
REMOVING THE ACCESS PANEL
To remove the access panel, first remove the two screws
on each side of the access panel that hold the fill strips
in place. (NOTE: Do not replace these screws.) Next,
remove the two screws underneath the panel that hold
it against the guard plate.
After you have removed all four screws, slide the access
panel down below the two tabs at the top to remove it.
NOTE:
When you replace the panel, be sure to replace
only the screws that attach it to the guard plate.
