Determine Cabinet Opening  
Your dishwasher has leveling legs. The following provides  
instructions to adjust the leveling legs to set the dishwasher to the  
correct height for your cabinet opening.  
NOTE: If the minimum cabinet opening height is less than  
34" (86.4 cm), the rear leveling legs can be removed for additional  
clearance. This will allow the dishwasher to fit into a 33⁷⁄₈" (86 cm)  
high cabinet opening, but the dishwasher will be more difficult to  
move. (Measurements are approximate. Rear and front leveling  
legs are preset at the factory for 34¹⁄₂" [87.6 cm].)  
Measure height of cabinet opening from underside of countertop  
to floor where dishwasher will be installed (you will need to  
measure the lowest point on the underside of the countertop and  
the highest point on the floor). Refer to “Dishwasher Height  
Adjustment Chart” to adjust the leveling legs.  
Turn front and rear leveling legs to the same height. Refer to

Read the Dishwasher User Instructions that came with your  
dishwasher.  
Expect longer wash times. Your new dishwasher will average  
2-3 hours per load, but use nearly 40% less energy than older  
models. Designed with a low wattage, low energy consumption  
motor, your dishwasher washes longer to ensure exceptional  
cleaning. Certain models are equipped with an optical water  
sensor so the first cycle will run longer to calibrate to optical  
sensor. Selecting certain options could increase cycle time past  
3.5 hours.  
Check that all parts have been installed and no steps were  
skipped. Check that you have all tools used.  
Start dishwasher and allow it to complete the shortest wash  
cycle. After the first 2 minutes, unlatch door, wait 5 seconds,  
then open door. Check that there is water in the bottom of the  
dishwasher tub. Check that dishwasher is working properly.  
Rinse Aid is necessary for good drying results:  
This dishwasher is designed to be used with rinse aid for good  
drying performance and controlling buildup of hard water  
deposits. Energy efficient dishwashers use less water and energy,  
so they depend on the water sheeting action of rinse aid for good  
drying performance.  
If the dishwasher is not working properly, disconnect power or  
unplug dishwasher and see “If Dishwasher Does Not Operate”  
section.  
If Dishwasher Does Not Operate  
Start/Resume light may flash:  
When pressing Start/Resume, you must make sure the door is  
closed within 3 seconds. If you do not close the door within  
3 seconds, the Start/Resume light will flash until you press it  
again. (You must also do this when adding a dish during the  
middle of a cycle.)  
First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid the cost of  
a service call.

NOTE: If a braided supply hose is used, replace inlet hose after  
5 years to reduce the risk of hose failure. Record hose installation  
or replacement dates on the hose for future reference.  
Has the cycle been set correctly to start the dishwasher?  
Is the water turned on?  
If none of these possible solutions work, please see the Use and  
Care Guide for service contact information.
