checking the following items:
On EIDW5905 press and hold down HI-TEMP Icon for
5 - 10 seconds before first use.
At first fill, approximately 2 minutes, make sure water
completely covers filter surface.
At pump-out: (pump-out is either when the cycle is
completed or canceled. refer to the Use and Care Manual
for Start/Cancel), make sure all water is pumped out.
Check water connections again for leaks.

Grounding Instructions:
The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded metal,
permanent wiring system or an equipment-grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the appliance’s equipment grounding terminal
or lead. It is the consumer’s responsibility to contact a
qualified installer to make sure the electrical installation
conforms with the National Electrical Code and local codes
and ordinances.
Do not connect the dishwasher to the power supply until the
appliance is permanently grounded.
All wiring connections must be enclosed in the junction box.
This unit has copper lead wires.
Joining aluminum building wire to stranded copper wire
should be done by a qualified electrician using materials
recognized by UL and local codes.
Do not use an extension cord. Such use can result in fire,

Property Damage
Do not solder within 6” of the water inlet valve. Damage to
the plastic parts in the valve may occur.
Use care that no sealer, dirt, or other objects enter the valve.
Damage to the filter screen may occur.
Be sure the dishwasher is placed where the water inlet
valve will be kept from freezing. If the valve freezes, it may
rupture and flooding may occur.

prevent early clogging of filter screen.
Place a bunched towel
over end of line to prevent splashing. Open water supply valve for
a few seconds and let water drain into a pan.
Turn off water
supply at shut-off valve.
