Installation Preparation

PREPARE ELECTRICAL WIRING

FORPERSONALSAFETY:

Remove house fuse or open circuit breaker

before beginning installation. Do not use

an extension cord or adapter plug with this

appliance.

Electrical Requirements

• This appliance must be supplied with 120V, 60Hz.,and

connected to an individual properl9 grounded branch circuit

protected by a 15 or 20 ampere circuit breaker or time delag

fuse.

• Wiring must be 2 wire with ground and rated for 75°C(176°F).

• If the electrical supply does not meet the above

requirements, call a licensed electrician before proceeding.

Grounding Instructions-Cable Direct

This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal,

permanent wiring system, or 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 electric shock

by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.

This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment

grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must

be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and

grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

The improper connection of the equipment

grounding conductor can result in a risk

of electric shock. Check with a qualified

electrician or service representative if you

are in doubt that the appliance is properly

grounded.

Cabinet Preparation and Wire Routing

• The wiring mag enter the opening from either side, rear or the

floor within the shaded area.

• Cut a 1-1/2" max. diameter hole to admit the electrical cable.

Cable direct connections mag 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 cable direct 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 B-prong grounding type

receptacle in the sink cabinet rear wall, 6" min. or 18" max.

from the opening, 6" to 18" above the flooE

Installation Instructions

PREPARE HOT WATER LINE

• The line may enter from either side, rear or floor within the

shaded area shown in Figure F.

• The line may pass through the same hole as the electrical

cable and drain hose. Or, cut an additional 1-1/2" diameter

hole to accommodate the water line. If power cord with plug

is used, water line must not pass through power cord hole.

STEP 21 POSITION DISHWASHER UNDER

CO UNTE RTO P

• Push the dishwasher into the cabinet.

• Push the sides with gour hands. Do not use gour knee against

the door since door damage will occur.

• Check that the tub insulation blanket does not get

"bunched-up" or interfere with the springs as gou slide it

into the cabinet.

• Center the dishwasher in the opening.

• Front of door panel should be flush with face of cabinet.

• Carefullg open and close the door to ensure that the door

panel does not catch or rub on the cabinet frame.

• If the door catches or rubs on the frame, reposition and/or

level the unit (see Step 12) until the door moves freelg and

does not contact the cabinet frame.

Positioning for PDW9200-PDW9900,

CDW9000 Series

The controls on these models are designed to be hidden bg

gour countertop. Align the dishwasher as shown in Figure

U.Leave a 1/2" minimum gap between the underside of the

countertop and the top of the dishwasher door as shown in

Figure X.

Note: For flush installations of the PDW9700 Series models,

cut off the back panel of the tub insulation blanket so that the

dishwasher door panel can be aligned with the kitchen cabinet

panels.

Note: If the drain hose gets trapped behind the unit it can

prevent the controls from being hidden by the countertop.

Note: If this dishwasher is replacing an existing dishwasher, the

old countertop bracket screw holes may not be in the correct

position to accept a top-control model. New holes may be

required.

Tip: The leveling legs can be used to increase or decrease

the amount of gap between the controls and the countertop

affecting the visibility of the controls.

IMPORTANT- Leoveo1/2"minimumgopbetween

the controls ond the underside of the countertop to prevent

condensotion end damage to the control panel from

STEP 17 PRETEST CHECK LIST

Review this list after installing gour dishwasher to

avoid charges for a service call that is not covered bg gour

warrantg.

[] Check to be sure power is OFF.

[] Open door and remove all foam and paper packaging.

[] Locate the Owner's Manual in the user bag.

[] Read the Owner's Hanual for operating instructions.

[] Check door opening and closing. If door does not open and

close freelg, check for proper routing of spring cable over

pulleg. See Step 2, Figure H. If door drops or closes when

released, adjust spring tension.

[] Check to be sure that wiring is secure under the dishwasher,

not pinched or in contact with door springs or other

components. See Steps 9 and 10.

[] Check door alignment with tub. If door hits tub, level

dishwasher. See Step 12.

[] Pull lower rack out, about halfwag. Check to be sure it does

not roll back or forward on the doon If the rack moves,

adjust leveling legs. SeeStep 12.

[] Check door alignment with cabinet. If door hits cabinet,

reposition or relevel dishwashe_ SeeSteps 11, 12 and 13.

[] Check that door spring does not contact water line, fill hose,

wiring or other components. See Step 14.

[] Verifu water supplu and drain lines are not kinked or in

contact with other components. Contact with motor or

dishwasher frame could cause noise. SeeSteps 7 and 9.

[] Turn on the sink hot water faucet and verifu water

temperature. Incoming water temperature must

be between 120°Fand 150°R A minimum of 120°F

temperature is required for best wash performance. See

"Prepare Hot Water Line,"page 5.

[] Add 2 quarts of water to the bottom of the dishwasher to

lubricate the pump seal.

[] Turn on water supplu. Check for leaks. Tighten connections

if needed.

[] Remove protective film if present from the control panel

and doon

[] Avoid service call charges bg ensuring there is an air gap

or drain hose routed through the required 32" minimum

height.
