Uncrating, Positioning And Leveling - Meiko K-44E Owner's Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

3.3 Uncrating, Positioning and Leveling

1. Remove all shipping and packaging ma-
terial from the appliance, including sup-
ports and wrappings. Leave the shipping
skid in place at this time to allow for easier
movement to the installation location.
2. Check for shipping damage as described
in Section 2, "Transport and Shipping." If
damage is present, call Meiko Customer
Service at 1-800-868-3840, providing full
details on the customer, serial number and
extent of damage present. Meiko will file
a freight claim based on this information.
3. Move the appliance to the installation area
and remove the skid. Meiko recommends
using a pallet truck to lift the entire pallet
and avoid damage to the machine. Use
caution to avoid damaging the appliance
or any of its components.
CAUTION
If the pallet is removed, the frame of the
dishwasher can be damaged by improper
lifting. The machine's weight must always
be distributed properly using cross-mem-
bers to protect the frame.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to slide the machine on its
feet. This can bend the legs.

the end cowlings
(if required)
4. If dish tables are already in place, it may
be necessary to remove the end cowlings
to install the machine. To remove the cowl-
ings, refer to Figure 3-1.
Each cowling is held in place by hex head
acorn nuts on the inside of the machine.
For easy access to the acorn nuts, simply
lift the front access door(s).
5. Using a spirit level, check that the appli-
ance is level in both directions (front-to-
back AND side-to-side). If necessary, level
the appliance by rotating the bottom sec-
tion of each foot.
CAUTION
The dishwasher MUST be level for proper
operation.
6. If you removed the cowling(s) in Step 4,
replace them onto the machine at this
time. Be sure to check that the rubber gas-
ket that fits between each cowling and the
body of the machine is properly seated.
7. Run a fine bead of clear silicone sealant
along the top edge of the seam between
each cowling and the machine.
