UNPACKING AND
STEP 5
INSPECTING THE
DISHWASHER
Unbox the dishwasher in an open area free of
obstructions both, around the carton and overhead.
We recommend that you retain the carton and all the
packing materials until the dishwasher is fully installed
and operational to ensure you have removed all the
product's components from the carton prior to disposal.
Unboxing
1. Unbuckle or cut the four straps securing the carton top.
2. Lift the top of the telescoping carton clear of the
carton tray and the contents, and then turn it over
and place it on the floor.
3. Put the straps and all of the packing materials
from around the dishwasher inside the carton top,
inspecting them for any signs of damage.
4. Locate and set aside the dishwasher's kick panel.
The kick panel is attached to packing material of the
dishwasher.
5. Lift the dishwasher from the carton tray, and then
place it on the floor. Put the tray into the carton top.
6. Remove the bag that protects the dishwasher during
shipping.
ALWAYS LIFT the dishwasher to
CAUTION
MOVE it.
Sliding it over rough surfaces can damage the
dishwasher's feet and sliding the feet over finished
surfaces can, in some cases, damage that finish or
the underlying surface.
7. There is also packing inside the dishwasher that you
may want to leave in place until the dishwasher is
installed.
8. DO not, under any circumstances, remove the sound-
absorbent padding that surrounds the exterior of the
tub of the dishwasher.

Inspection
Mechanical
1. Check the plastic base assembly to ensure that it is
intact.
2. Check the dishwasher's feet to ensure they are in
place and can be adjusted so you can level and
secure the dishwasher.

the dishwasher to ensure they are intact and secure.
4. Check the door latch, the operation of the hinges,
and confirm the door is properly secured to the
dishwasher.
Plumbing
1. Check the hot water connection on the front left-side
of the base of the dishwasher. The mounting plate
should be secured to the front of the base, the threads
inside the connection should be smooth and shiny,
and the area should be clean and free of any debris.
2. Check the plastic brake and sensor cases to ensure
these assemblies are not cracked and that all
connections are secure.
3. Check the drain hose for any holes or deformities
that could allow a water leak during draining.
Electrical
1. Confirm the junction box cover is secured to the
junction box on the front right-side of the base of the
dishwasher.
2. Confirm the electrical box was not damaged during
shipping and that it is secured to the base of the
dishwasher.
Appearance
1. Confirm there are no dents or scratches on the front
of the dishwasher.
2. Check the edges of the doors for any roughness or
cracking.

unscratched, and that all the control markers are in
their proper places.
