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.
