ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (continued)

WARNING: FIRE HAZARD - loose or improper electrical connections can cause fire. Make certain that all electrical connections are properly made.

• Do not pre-twist the wires before connecting them with wire nuts.

• Extend the dishwasher’s stranded wires 1/8” (3mm) beyond the power supply cable’s solid wires, as shown in

Figure 28.

5) Using the supplied wire nuts, connect the electrical supply wires to the dishwasher’s wires, black to black, white to white, and green or bare to green or bare. Make certain that the insulated wires show no bare wire from the bottoms of the wire nuts. Gently tug the wires to make certain they are securely connected.

6) Press the wires into the junction box. Make certain that the wire nuts do not loosen.

7) Place the cover on the junction box and secure it to the junction box with the supplied screw.

DOOR TENSION ADJUSTMENT (only on SHI

and SHV models)

After the dishwasher is installed, open and close the door several times to make sure that it does so with ease. If the door closes too quickly or if the door falls open, the spring tension needs to be adjusted.

To Adjust the Spring Tension:

1) Obtain the provided Door Tension Screws (Figure 1, letter K) from the SHI/SHV parts bag.

2) Insert the screws as shown in Figure 29. Turning the screw clockwise increases the spring tension. Turning the screws counter-clockwise decreases the spring tension.
