BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Locate and set aside the two Phillips head mounting screws wrapped with yellow tape

and stuck to the top or side of the dishwasher.

STEP 1 CHECK DOOR BALANCE

•With dishwasher on the wood skid, check the door balance by opening and closing the door.

•If the door drops when released, increase the spring tension. If the door rises when released, decrease the tension.

NOTE: The addition of the custom panel on model ZBD6890 will require exchange of the factory installed springs. Use the heavy-duty springs provided. See the custom panel template for additional instructions.

•Position the spring for increased or decreased tension as required.

NOTE: Adjust both balance springs to the same amount of tension to prevent excessive door twisting during use.

Water Line Connection

•Turn off the water supply.

•Install a hand shut-off valve in an accessible location, such as under the sink. (Optional, but strongly recommended and may be required by local codes.)

•Water connection is on the left side of the dishwasher. Install the hot water inlet line, using no less than 3/8" O.D. copper tubing. Route the line as shown in Figure F and extend forward at least 19" from rear wall.

•Adjust water heater for 120°F to 150°F temperature.

•Flush water line to clean out debris.

•The hot water supply line pressure must be 20-120 PSI.

CAUTION

Do not remove wood base until you are ready to install the dishwasher. The dishwasher will tip over when the door is opened if the wood base is removed.
