have a proper outlet installed by a qualified technician.
Cabinet Preparation & Wire Routing
•The wiring may enter the opening from either side, rear or
the floor within the shaded area illustrated above in Figure
E and defined in Figure A.
• Cut a 1-1/2" maximum diameter hole to admit the
electrical cable. Edges of hole should be smooth and
rounded. Permanent wiring connections may pass
through the same hole as the drain hose and hot water
line, if convenient. If cabinet wall is metal, the hole edge
must be covered with a bushing.
NOTE: Power cords with plug must pass through a
separate hole.
Electrical Connection to Dishwasher
Electrical connection is on the right front of dishwasher.
• For permanent connections the cable must be routed as
shown in Figure E. Cable must extend a minimum of 24"
from the rear wall.
• For power cord connections, install a 3-prong grounding
type receptacle in the sink cabinet rear wall, 6" min. or 18"
maximum from the opening, 6" to 18" above the floor.
• Use the Power Cord Kit for your dishwasher model.
PREPARE ELECTRICAL WIRING

STEP 13
INSTALL MOUNTING BRACKETS
You will need the mounting brackets and 2 #8 hex-head
screws set aside in Step 1.
You must install the mounting brackets onto the
dishwasher tub frame top or sides prior to sliding
the dishwasher into place under the countertop. This
dishwasher is capable of a true-flush installation at a
24” deep opening. The mounting brackets have several
available attachment positions to accommodate different
cabinet constructions.
Install mounting brackets on top if the underside of
countertop is wood or wood-like material that accepts
screws:
IMPORTANT - After installing brackets and before
closing the dishwasher door, adjust the brackets by
bending them up as needed, so that they do not contact
the top of the dishwasher door and cause damage.
• If you are installing the dishwasher under a counter
with a short overhang, the countertop brackets may
extend beyond the edge of the counter. If this is the case,
remove the excess length by repeatedly bending the
brackets at the front notch only until they break.
Install mounting brackets on sides if the countertop
is granite or similar material that will not accept wood screws:
• Break off front portion of the tab with pliers at the
location shown.
• Position the left-hand side bracket as shown. Repeat
with the right bracket.

FINAL POSITION
• Check the tub insulation blanket, if equipped, to be sure it is
smoothly wrapped around the tub. It should not be “bunched
up” and it must not interfere with the door springs. If the
insulation is “bunched up” or interfering with the springs,
straighten and re center the blanket prior to sliding the
dishwasher into its final position.
• Slide the dishwasher into the final position by pushing on
the sides of the door panel. Do not use a knee or push on the
center of the panel. If you do, damage to the panel will likely
result.
IMPORTANT –Before opening the dishwasher
door, be certain the edges of the dishwasher door panel are
behind the face of the adjacent cabinet and not up against the
cabinet face. Refer to Figure U. If the dishwasher door is opened
when the edge of the door is against the face of the cabinet,
dishwasher door damage and cabinet damage will occur.
• Open and close the dishwasher door to be sure it operates
smoothly, and does not rub on the adjacent cabinet.
Tip: Prevent unnecessary service charges for panel
damage or wash performance.
Check dishwasher alignment prior to opening dishwasher door
to prevent panel damage.
Make sure utility lines are not trapped or crushed behind
dishwasher. Crushed lines will restrict water flow.
STEP 15
/(9(/',6+:$6+(5
IMPORTANT – Dishwasher must be level for proper dish
rack operation, wash performance and door operation. The
dishwasher must be leveled left to right and front to back.
This ensures the dish racks will not roll in or out on their own,
circulation water will flow to the pump inlet, and the door will
close without hitting the side
of the tub.
• Remove the lower dish
rack and place a level on
the door and lower rack
track as shown in Figure V.
• The height of the wheels
are adjusted from the front
of the dishwasher along
with the 2 front legs on
the bottom of the
dishwasher. Begin the
leveling process with the
front legs by individually
turning the front 2 legs.
By adjusting the
front legs first,access
to the rear leveling
bolts is maximized
easing rear wheel
adjustment. When
the front legs are
adjusted to a height
resulting in an
appropriate gap to
the upper cabinet,
proceed to adjust
the rear leveling
bolts and wheels.
Individually turn
the 2 bolts to
adjust the rear
wheels. Slowly
rotate the 2 bolts
counter clockwise
to raise the
dishwasher, and
clockwise to lower it. Continue to adjust the feet and wheels
until the dishwasher is level as illustrated in Figure W.
• The dishwasher is properly leveled when the level indicator
is centered left to right and front to back. Also, the dishwasher
door should close without hitting the side of the tub.
• Replace the lower rack.
• Pull each rack out, about halfway. Check to be sure it does
not roll back or forward on the door. If the rack moves, adjust
leveling legs.
Tip: Prevent unnecessary service charges. Verify dishwasher
is leveled.
Pull the dish racks half way out. They should stay put. Open and
close the door. The door should fit in the tub opening without
hitting the side of the tub. If the racks roll on their own, or the
door hits the side of tub, re level the dishwasher.

Tip: Avoid unnecessary service call charges for a
no drain complaint.
Make sure excess drain hose has been pulled through
the cabinet opening. This will prevent excess hose in the
dishwasher cavity from becoming kinked or crushed by the
dishwasher.
STEP 19
CONNECT POWER SUPPLY
If a power cord with plug is already installed
proceed to Step 20.
In this step you will need the junction box cover and the #10
Hex head screw from the screws set aside in Step 1.
•Secure house wiring to the back of the junction box with a
strain relief.
• Locate the 3 dishwasher wires, (white, black and green)
with the stripped ends coming out of the AC jumper. Use
UL listed wire nuts of appropriate size to connect incoming
ground to green, white to white and black to black.
• Install the junction box cover using #10 hex head screw.
Check to be sure that wires are not pinched under the
cover.
• Make sure that the junction box cover is resting on the
mounting bracket.
• If using a Power Cord Kit, please refer to the included
instructions.

Review this list after installing your dishwasher to
avoid charges for a service call that is not covered by
your warranty.
• Check to be sure power is OFF.
• Open door and remove all foam and paper packaging.
• Locate the Owner’s Manual set aside in Step 1.
• Read the Owner’s Manual for operating instructions.
• Check door opening and closing. If door does not open
and close freely, check for proper routing of spring cable
over pulley. If door drops or closes when released, adjust
spring tension. See Step 2.
• Check to be sure that wiring is secure under the
dishwasher, not pinched or in contact with door springs or
other components. See Step 19.
• Check door alignment with tub. If door hits tub, level
dishwasher. See Step 15.
• Check door alignment with cabinet. If door hits cabinet,
reposition dishwasher. See Step 14.
• Check that door spring does not contact water line, fill
hose, wiring or other components. See Step 14.
• Verify water supply and drain lines are not kinked or in
contact with other components. Contact with motor or
dishwasher frame could cause noise.
• Turn on the sink hot water faucet and verify water
temperature. Incoming water temperature must
be between 120°F and 140°F. A minimum of 120°F
temperature is required for best wash performance. See
“Prepare Hot Water Line,” page 5.
• Add 1 quarts of water to the bottom of the dishwasher to
lubricate the pump seal.
• Turn on water supply. Check for leaks. Tighten
connections if needed.
• Remove protective film if present from the control panel
and door.
STEP 21 ',6+:$6+(5:(77(67
• Turn on power supply or plug power cord into outlet, if
equipped.
• Select a cycle to run and push the START button.
• Ensure the door is latched. Dishwasher should start.
• Check to be sure that water enters the dishwasher. If
water does not enter the dishwasher, check to be sure
that water and power are turned on.
• Check for leaks under the dishwasher. If a leak is found,
turn off power at the breaker, and then tighten water
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 cabinets. Reposition the dishwasher if necessary.
See Step 14.
• Press and hold the START button for 3 seconds to cancel
the cycle. The unit will begin to drain. Check drain lines. If
leaks are found, turn off power at the breaker and correct
plumbing as necessary. Restore power after corrections
are made. See Steps 8, 10, 11 and 18.
• Open dishwasher door and make sure all of the water
has drained. If not, check that disposer plug has been
removed and/or air gap is not plugged. Also check drain
hose to be sure it is not kinked underneath or behind
dishwasher. See Step 18.
• Press START button once again and run dishwasher through
another cycle. Check for leaks and correct if required.
• Repeat this step as necessary.

STEP 23
POSITION INSULATION, PRE-
TOEKICK, AND SOUND
BARRIER (on some models)
Skip this step if the sound insulation package is not
supplied with the dishwasher.
• Locate the sound insulation package and pre-toekick
packages inside the dishwasher.
• Stand the parts upright as shown.
• Locate the control box.
•Push insulation block portion under the dishwasher until it
is beneath the control box.
• Push the panel portion up to the front of the block.
• Tuck the sides of the front panel behind the toekick
attachment screw holes.
• Open door all the way, if the door doesn’t stay fully open,
adjust the insulation panel.
• On models so equipped, position pre-toekick over the
insulation. Align the screw holes with the screw holes on
the legs of the dishwasher.

LITERATURE
• Be sure to leave complete literature package, these Installation
Instructions and product samples and/or coupons with the
consumer.
STEP 24
REPLACE TOEKICK
• Place toekick against the pre-toekick and legs of the
dishwasher.
• Align the toekick with the bottom edge and make sure it is
against the floor.
• Insert and tighten the 2 toekick attachment screws. The
toekick should stay in contact with the floor.
• When reinstalling the toe kick on models with a sound
barrier, ensure that the bottom edge of the rubberized flap
is flush with the floor. Any excess material should be tucked
up behind the outer door. Do not allow excess rubberized
flap to lay on the floor. If any excess is not tucked completely
behind the outer door, it will bunch up between the door and
toe kick and impede proper opening and closing of the door.
This will be noticeable because the door will not stay fully
open and will spring up.
Tip: Reduce sound from under the dishwasher. Make sure
toekick is against floor.
