INSTALLATION
Visual Inspection
Before installing the unit, inspect the shipping container
and machine for damage. A damaged container may
indicate there is damage to the machine. If there is
damage to both the container and machine, do not throw
away the container. The dishwasher has been inspected
and packed at the factory and is expected to arrive in
an undamaged condition. However, rough handling by
carriers or others may result in damage to the unit while
in transit. If such a situation occurs, do not return the unit
to Blakeslee; instead, contact the carrier and ask them to
send a representative to the site to inspect the damage
to the unit and to complete an inspection report. You
must contact the carrier within 48 hours of receiving the
machine. Also, contact the dealer where you purchased
the unit.
Unpacking the Dishwasher
Once the machine has been removed from the container,
make sure that there are no parts missing from the
machine. This may not be obvious at first. If an item is
missing, contact Blakeslee immediately to have the missing
item shipped to you.
Leveling the Dishwasher
The dishwasher must be level to operate correctly. This
allows the hood to open and close properly and ensures
the best results while washing. The unit comes with
adjustable bullet feet, which can be turned using a pair of
channel locks or by hand if the unit can be raised safely.
Ensure that the unit is level from side to side and from front
to back before making any service connections. Minor
adjustments to the feet may be necessary to eliminate
any door gaps once the unit has been leveled.

Plumbing the Dishwasher
All plumbing connections must comply with all applicable
local, state, and national plumbing codes. The installing
plumber must flush the incoming water line thoroughly
prior to connecting it to the dishwasher. Any valves that
are fouled as a result of foreign matter left in the water
line, and any expenses resulting from this fouling, are not
covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.
Various connections are labeled “180° Water”, “Steam”,
“Gas”, etc. Only connect the corresponding service to
these connections.
Dish Tables
Dish tables must be lipped into and slope slightly toward
the dishwasher. Use silicone sealant between the dish
table and the dishwasher. Secure with stainless steel
truss head screws.
