Pre-verification Check List
Confirm that the main power source is off.
Remove all packing material from inside the
dishwasher.
Check the orientation of the bottom door seal. The seal
“bulb” should be facing into the tank. If it is oriented
towards the exterior of the door, open the dishwasher
door fully and orientate the door seal so that it is facing
in to the tank.
Familiarize yourself with the dishwasher operations by
reading the use & care manual.
Remove any protective film, if present from the control
panel, door panel, etc.
Verify that all wiring is secure and is not being pinched
or in contact with door springs or any other dishwasher
components.
Verify that the dishwasher is level by pulling the lower
rack about half way out and making sure that the rack
does not roll back into the dishwasher or further out. If
it does, re-level the dishwasher.
Add two quarts of water to the bottom of the
dishwasher to lubricate the pump seal.
Turn on the water supply and check for plumbing leaks.
Tighten connections if necessary.
Verify that the door springs do not come in contact with
any dishwasher components.
Verify the hot water temperature by turning on the
hot water faucet at the sink. The water going to the
dishwasher must be between 120ºF and 150ºF.
Wet Test Check List

Turn on the main power at the dishwasher by pushing
the ON/OFF switch on the control panel.
