ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (continued)
WARNING: FIRE HAZARD - loose or
improper electrical connections can cause
fire. Make certain that all electrical
connections are properly made.
• Do not pre-twist the wires before connecting them with
wire nuts.
• Extend the dishwasher's stranded wires 1/8" (3mm)
beyond the power supply cable's solid wires, as shown in
Figure 28.
5) Using the supplied wire nuts, connect the electrical
supply wires to the dishwasher's wires, black to black,
white to white, and green or bare to green or bare. Make
certain that the insulated wires show no bare wire from the
bottoms of the wire nuts. Gently tug the wires to make
certain they are securely connected.
6) Press the wires into the junction box. Make certain that
the wire nuts do not loosen.
7) Place the cover on the junction box and secure it to the
junction box with the supplied screw.
DOOR TENSION ADJUSTMENT (only on SHI
and SHV models)
After the dishwasher is installed, open and close the door
several times to make sure that it does so with ease. If
the door closes too quickly or if the door falls open, the
spring tension needs to be adjusted.
To Adjust the Spring Tension:
1) Obtain the provided Door Tension Screws (Figure 1,
letter K) from the SHI/SHV parts bag.
2) Insert the screws as shown in Figure 29. Turning the
screw clockwise increases the spring tension. Turning the
screws counter-clockwise decreases the spring tension.

BASE AND TOE PANEL

Regular Toe Panel Installation
Use the toe panel screws (Figure 1, letter D) from the
Dishwasher Installation Kit and a Torx screwdriver to install
the toe panel as shown in Figure 30.
