an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and be
connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.
Grounding Instructions – Power Cord Models
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electric current. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet
that is installed and grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances.
Direct Wire Method
• The cable must be routed as shown in “Cabinet Preparation and Wire Routing”
on page 9, and extend a minimum of 24 in. from the rear wall.
• Use flexible, armored, or nonmetallic sheathed, copper wire with grounding
wire that meets the wiring requirements for your home and local codes and
ordinances.
• Use a UL Listed/CSA Approved strain relief.
Power Cord Method
• Install a 3-prong grounding type receptacle. The wall outlet can be installed in a
cabinet or on a wall adjacent to the undercounter space in which the dishwasher
is to be installed.
• Use power cord kit (part number 5304504505) under Smart Choice brand
marked with Dishwasher Install Kit With Power Cord, available for purchase
from an authorized store. The power cord and connections must comply with
local codes and ordinances.
• The recommended power cord length is 54 in. min. and 64 in. max.

2. Install a hand shut-off valve in an accessible location, such as under the sink. This
is optional, but strongly recommended, and may be required by local codes.
3. Install the hot water inlet line, using at least 3/8” tubing. Route the line as shown
in the figure above and extend it forward at least 18 in. from the rear wall of the
enclosure.

Connecting the Drain Hose
INSTALLATION
STEP 14: CONNECTING THE DRAIN HOSE
Important: Follow all local codes and ordinances.
1. Cut on the marked line as required for your installation. The drain hose’s molded
end will fit 5/8” or 1” diameter connections on the air gap, waste tee, or
garbage disposal.
2. If a longer drain hose is required, you can add up to 42” of length, for a total of
10 ft. to the factory installed hose. Use 5/8” or 7/8” inside diameter hose and
a coupler to connect the two hose ends. Secure the connection with screw-type
hose clamps.
3. Secure the drain hose to the air gap, waste tee, or garbage disposal with a
screw-type clamp, using the appropriate method below. See “Drain Preparation”
on page 6, if you do not know which method to use.
Important: For proper drain operation, the total drain hose length must
not exceed 10 ft.
Connecting the Drain Hose
INSTALLATION
Method 1 - Air gap to a waste tee or garbage disposal.
Method 2 - High drain loop to a waste tee or garbage disposal.
4. If connecting the drain line to a garbage disposal, make sure that the drain plug
has been removed. Your dishwasher will not drain if the plug is left in place.

Pre-Test Check
INSTALLATION
STEP16: WET TESTING THE DISHWASHER
1. Turn on the power supply (or plug the power cord into the outlet.)
2. Select rinse cycle on dishwasher (refer to the User Guide for instructions).
3. Press START/CANCEL and close door.
4. Make sure that water enters the dishwasher. If water does not enter the
dishwasher, check to be sure that water and power are turned on.
5. Check for leaks under the dishwasher. If a leak is found, turn the power supply
off, then tighten connections. Restore power after the leak is corrected. Then
repeat test, starting at step 1.
6. 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. See “Step 11: Position the Dishwasher Under the Countertop”on
page 25.
7. When the dishwasher is draining, check the drain lines for leaks. If leaks are
found, turn power off power supply and correct plumbing as necessary.
8. Restore the power after corrections are made. See “Step 13: Connecting the
Water Supply Line” on page 28.
9. Run the dishwasher through another fill and drain cycle. Check for leaks and
correct if required.
10. Open the dishwasher door and make sure that most of the water has drained.
If not, check that the disposer plug has been removed and/or the air gap is not
restricted. See “Step 14: Connecting the Drain Hose” on page 29. Also check
the drain line for kinking.*
*When checking for water, there should be no standing water in the bottom of the
tub, but there will be water in the sump system underneath the filter. This is normal and
is to keep the seals and system from drying out and causing leaks. The water that is
left in the sump is clean water that has not been used to clean dishes.
Pre-Test Check
INSTALLATION
STEP 15: PERFORMING A PRETEST CHECK
Review this list after installing your dishwasher to avoid problems or charges for a
service call not covered by your warranty.
• Make sure that power is turned OFF.
• Make sure all foam and paper packaging is removed.
• Locate the User Guide in the literature package.
• Read the User Guide for operating instructions.
• Check the door opening and closing. If the door does not open and close freely,
or tends to fall open, check the spring adjustments. See “Step 2: Check the door
balance” on page 15.
• Make sure that the wiring is secure under the dishwasher and not pinched or
in contact with door springs or other components. See “Step 11: Position the
dishwasher under the countertop” on page 25.
