Installation Instructions

WARNING

To ensure a safe and proper installation, the following

checklist should be completed by the installer to

ensure that no part of the installation has been

overlooked and the unit is working properly.
Proper installation is the responsibility of the

homeowner. The importance of proper installation of

your Dacor dishwasher cannot be overemphasized.

Pre-verification Check List

Confirm that the main power supply (at the circuit

breaker panel or fuse box) is off.

Remove all packing material from inside the

dishwasher.

Check the orientation of the bottom door seal. The seal

“bulb” should be facing into the tank. If it is oriented

towards the exterior of the door, open the dishwasher

door fully and orientate the door seal so that it is facing

into the tank.

Familiarize yourself with operation of the dishwasher by

reading the use & care manual.

Remove any protective film, if present from the control

panel, door panel, etc.

Verify that all wiring is secure and is not being pinched

or in contact with door springs or any other dishwasher

components.

Verify that the dishwasher is level by pulling the

lower rack half way out. Let go of the rack and make

sure it does not roll in or out. If it does, re-level the

dishwasher.

Add two quarts of water to the bottom of the

dishwasher to lubricate the pump seal.

Turn on the water supply and check for plumbing leaks.

Tighten connections if necessary.

Verify that the door springs do not come in contact with

any dishwasher components.

Verify the hot water temperature by turning on the

hot water faucet at the sink. The water going to the

dishwasher must be between 120ºF and 150ºF.

Wet test Check List

Plug in the power cord if the dishwasher is equipped

with one. Turn on the main power supply.

Program the dishwasher to run a short wash. See the

use and care manual for specific operating instructions.

Verifying Proper Operation

Close and latch the door.

You should hear the dishwasher drain and then begin

to fill with water. Wait approximately two (2) minutes,

then carefully open the door to verify water is filling the

dishwasher tank. If there is water present, close the

door and continue the process. Should the water not

fill the tank or the pump is not running, immediately

push the

StARt/StOP button to stop the dishwasher.

Verify that the water supply valve is turned on, power is

connected, and that main power supply is on.

Check for leaks under the dishwasher. If any leaks

are found, immediately turn off the main power supply,

tighten all connections and restore the power.

Check for leaks around the door. A leak around the

door could be caused by the dishwasher door rubbing

or hitting against adjacent cabinets. Reposition the

dishwasher if necessary.

The dishwasher will drain after the first fill. Check the

drain line for leaks. If leaks are found, turn off the

power supply immediately, tighten all connections and

restore the power.

Open the dishwasher door and verify that most of the

water has drained. If not, verify that the disposer plug

has been removed and/or the air gap is not plugged.

Run the dishwasher through another fill and drain

cycle. Verify that there are no leaks.

If the dishwasher does not operate correctly, see the

instructions below.

If the fill, wash and drain cycles operate properly,

reinstall the toe kick. Adjust it so that the bottom of the

chassis and the legs below the door are completely

covered. If the toe kick does not cover the chassis and

legs completely, install the included extended toe kick.

If the dishwasher fails to operate properly:

Verify that power is supplied to the dishwasher.

Check the electrical connections to ensure that the

installation has been completed correctly.
For additional start up or drain problems check

all installation steps to verify they are correct and

complete.
Repeat the above test.

If the appliance still does not work, contact the Dacor

Customer Service Team at (800) 793-0093.

Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Dacor

is not responsible for service required to correct a faulty

installation.
