STEP 13 – SLIDE DISHWASHER INTO

FINAL POSITION

•Push the dishwasher the rest of the way into the cabinet.

•Push the sides with your hands. Do not push the dishwasher with your knee, as this will damage the door.

•Check that the tub insulation blanket does not get “bunched-up” or interfere with the springs as you slide it into the cabinet.

•Center the dishwasher in the opening.

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

•Carefully open and close the door to ensure that the door panel does not catch or rub on the cabinet frame. Refer to Figure U below.

•If the door catches or rubs on the frame, reposition and/or level the unit (see Step 14) until the door moves freely and does not contact the cabinet frame.

Special Considerations for Positioning Top Mount Control Models

The controls on these models are designed to be hidden by your countertop. Align the dishwasher as shown in Figure V. Leave a 1/2" minimum gap between the underside of the countertop and the top of the dishwasher door as shown in Figure W.

Use the leveling legs to increase or decrease the amount of gap between the controls and the countertop.

For flush installations of the PDW9700 Series models, it may be necessary to cut off the back panel of the tub insulation blanket so that the dishwasher door panel can be aligned with the kitchen cabinet panels.

IMPORTANT – Leave a 1/2" minimum gap between the controls and the underside of the countertop to prevent condensation and damage to the control panel from screwheads.

PDW8400JWW, PDW8400JCC, PDW8400JBB specifications

The GE PDW8400 series, which includes the models PDW8400JBB, PDW8400JCC, and PDW8400JWW, represents a key lineup in GE's portfolio of dishwashers. These models are designed to bring efficiency and performance to the kitchen, making dishwashing a hassle-free task.

One of the standout features of the PDW8400 series is its Capacity. These dishwashers offer an ample amount of space, which can accommodate large loads, making them ideal for families or those who frequently entertain guests. The flexible loading options allow users to configure the interior racks to maximize space, ensuring that everything from oversized pots to delicate glassware can be efficiently cleaned.

In terms of technological innovations, the PDW8400 models come equipped with GE's advanced wash system. This includes a multi-directional wash arm that ensures proper coverage and cleaning of all items in the dishwasher. The powerful jets combined with a high-performance motor provide a thorough clean, removing even the most stubborn food particles.

Another notable technology present in these designs is the Piranha™ Hard Food Disposer. This feature utilizes a stainless steel blade to grind food particles, minimizing the need for pre-rinsing while ensuring that the wash water remains clear. This function not only enhances cleanliness but also helps maintain the longevity of the dishwasher by preventing clogs.

These models also prioritize energy efficiency. They are Energy Star rated, which means they meet or exceed energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This not only saves money on utility bills but also reduces the environmental impact.

Additional features include a variety of wash cycles tailored to specific needs. From quick washes to heavy-duty cycles, users can select the desired program based on the type of load. The models also include a Delay Start option, allowing users to schedule their dishwashing to later in the day or night when energy rates may be lower.

Lastly, the sleek design of the PDW8400JBB, PDW8400JCC, and PDW8400JWW models enhances any kitchen aesthetic. With a range of finishes available, including black, white, and stainless steel, these dishwashers blend seamlessly with existing appliances. Overall, the GE PDW8400 series stands out as a reliable, efficient, and stylish choice for modern kitchens.
