EdgeStar DWP61ES Owner's Manual - Page 9

WARNING: A hose that attaches to a spray wand can burst if it is installed on the same water line as the dishwasher. WARNING! Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. EdgeStar Dishwasher Preparing the Dishwasher for Use Unpacking the Dishwasher Use at least two people to move and install the dishwasher to prevent back and other types of injuries. Carefully remove the packaging materials. Remove any shipping tape and glue from your dishwasher before using. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your dishwasher. Check to make sure the parts necessary for installation are included. If any parts are missing, please contact our customer service. Put the dishwasher on a level and flat surface that is able to support the entire weight of the dishwasher fully loaded. Installation Requirements The dishwasher has been designed for a countertop installation. Please follow the instructions for clearance, water and electrical requirements. Clearance Requirements The minimum height clearance required to install your dishwasher on a counter top surface with overhead cupboards is 45cm (17.7"). Water Requirements Make sure the water supply/faucet connection is within reach of the inlet and drain hose assembly (i.e., 58 cm / 22.8"). If your sink has a spray wand, it is recommended that the hose be disconnected and the hole plugged. Water Pressure For best results, incoming water pressure should be between 15 and 20 pounds per square inch (psi). Water Temperature For best results, the water temperature must be at least 55ºC (130ºF). To prevent damage to the dishwasher, the temperature of the incoming water supply should not exceed 65ºC (149ºF). Electrical Requirements Read all safety precautions listed at the beginning of this manual. It is recommended that you use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain. Make sure there is an electrical supply (outlet) within reach of the electrical power supply cord (195 cm / 6.3 ft). The dishwasher is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3-pronged and grounding-type wall receptacle providing 110-120V, 60Hz, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility of the customer to have a properly grounded, 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a certified electrician. Use a circuit that is rated for 10 amps. WARNING: Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug with this appliance. 4
