4.1 Preparation

  1. Disconnect Power: Unplug the dishwasher from the electrical outlet or turn off the circuit breaker supplying power to the dishwasher.

4.4 Post-Installation Checks

  4. Restore Power: Plug the dishwasher back into the electrical outlet or turn on the circuit breaker.
  5. Test Run: Run a short wash cycle to confirm proper operation and check for any leaks during the cycle.
