4. Repeat for other side of dishwasher.
NOTE: Shims must be securely attached to floor to prevent
their movement when the dishwasher is operated.
5. Place level against top front
opening of tub. Check that
dishwasher is level from side to
side. If dishwasher is not level,
adjust front legs up or down until
dishwasher is level.
Make Electrical Connection
Check “Electrical requirements” section.
You need to:
• have the correct electrical supply and recommended
grounding method.
If you are:
• direct wiring, use Option 1
• using a power supply cord, use Option 2
Option 1: Direct wire method
1. Route direct wire so that it does not touch dishwasher
motor or lower part of dishwasher tub.
2. Pull direct wire through hole in terminal box.
Helpful Tip:
• Select the proper size twist-on
connectors to connect your household
wiring to 16-gauge dishwasher wiring.
• Insert wire ends into twist-on
connector. Do not pre-twist bare wire.
• Twist connector.
• Gently tug on wires to be sure both
are secured.
3. Connect the wires as follows using twist-on connectors
sized to connect direct wire to 16-gauge dishwasher
wire:
Move dishwasher into cabinet opening
1. Grasp the sides of the dishwasher
at the edges of the door panel.
2. Tilt dishwasher backwards on
wheels and move dishwasher close
to cabinet opening. Do not push on
the front of the panel or on the
console—they may dent.
3. If dishwasher has a power supply
cord, insert power supply cord into hole cut into
cabinet.
If using direct wire, check that it is on the right front
side of opening.
4. Check that water line is on the left side of opening and
drain hose is near the center of the hole in the cabinet.
5. Slowly move dishwasher completely into cabinet
opening. Do not kink or pinch copper tubing, drain
hose, power supply cord or direct wire between
dishwasher and cabinet.
Helpful Tip: Once the dishwasher is in position, you
may have to support the front of the dishwasher by
raising, lowering or shimming front feet.
6. Remove cardboard from under dishwasher.
NOTE: It is all right if dishwasher fits tightly into cabinet
opening. Do not remove insulation blanket —the blanket
reduces the sound level.
Level the dishwasher
1. Align front of dishwasher door panel with cabinet
doors. You may need to adjust alignment to be even
with your cabinets.
Helpful Tip: Prop up one side of frame to hold
dishwasher up off floor when adjusting front legs.
2. Check that leveling legs are firmly against the floor.
3. Close and latch the door, and place level against the
front panel. Check that dishwasher is plumb. If needed,
adjust leveling leg or add shims under rear wheel until
dishwasher is plumb.
