Step 11, Position And Level Dishwasher; Step 12 Pre-Test Check List; Step 13 Dishwasher Wet Test - GE PDW8000 Installation Instructions Manual

STEP 11 POSITION AND LEVEL THE DISHWASHER
• Check to be sure the dishwasher is adjusted to correct
height and is centered in the cutout.
• Open and close the door to insure proper operation of
the door. If there is any binding or rubbing, readjust
leveling legs.
Use a wrench to make adjustments.
• If the door rubs on the right side of the cabinet, extend the left rear
leg by unscrewing it one quarter turn.
• If the door rubs against the left side of the cabinet, extend the right
rear leg by unscrewing it one quarter turn.
• Check level again. Repeat the procedure if necessary.

STEP 12 PRE-TEST CHECK LIST

Installation service calls are not covered by your
warranty. To avoid unnecessary charges, review
this list carefully.
Check to be sure power is OFF.
Open the door and remove all foam and paper packaging.
Pull lower rack out, about half way. Check to be sure it does
not roll back or forwards on the door. If the rack moves,
adjust leveling legs.

STEP 13 DISHWASHER WET TEST

Turn on power supply.
Select the normal cycle and press the start button.
The control will indicate a slow/no fill by flashing the CHINA
CRYSTAL, LIGHT WASH OR WASH CYCLE light. Check water
supply, then adjust fill time according to the chart shown.
Check to be sure that water enters the dishwasher, wait up to
2 minutes. If water does not enter the dishwasher, check to be
sure that water is turned on.
Check for leaks under the dishwasher. If a leak is found, turn
power and water off, then tighten connections. Restore power
and water supply.
Check for leaks around the door. A leak around the door could be
caused by door rubbing or hitting against adjacent cabinetry.
Reposition the dishwasher if necessary.
After the dishwasher drains check drain lines. If leaks are found,
turn power off, correct as necessary.
The control will indicate a slow/no drain by flashing the RINSE
ONLY, SANI WASH or HEAT OPTIONS. Check that the airgap is
clear of debris and that the knockout in the disposer or waste tee
is fully removed. Check that the drain hose is not kinked.
Open the dishwasher door and make sure that most of the water
has drained. If not, check that disposer plug has been removed
and that air gap is not plugged.
Cancel the dishwasher cycle and complete the installation.
Remove protective film if present from the control panel and door.

interfere with door opening.
CHECK WATER FILL LEVEL
For best performance, check the water fill level.
Run through a complete RINSE ONLY cycle to ensure it is emptying
and filling correctly. For low water pressure situations run the
RINSE ONLY cycle 3 times. Half-way through the final RINSE ONLY
cycle, pause the dishwasher and check the water level inside the
dishwasher. If the water level is not above the minimum water level
(marked on the lower spray support tower), increase the fill level.
1. Ensure the dishwasher is not running through a cycle. Depress
the WATER TEMP button for 10 seconds until the second buzzer
sounds (except on ZBD6600).
2. Press the START/CANCEL button to select fill time, as per chart
(65 seconds is the factory setting).
3. To test time, press DELAY START. The dishwasher will start filling.
Listen for the dishwasher to complete filling. Once filled, the fill
level must be checked to ensure fill time is correct.
4. Once complete, press the WATER TEMP button to exit fill time
mode.
Continue to press the START/CANCEL button
until the desired indicator is illuminated.
