SHARP SDW6888JS Slide in Smart Dishwasher Overview

Summary of Contents

• Page 1: Dishwasher: SDW6888JS Installation manual For your safety, read and observe all cautions and warnings shown throughout these instructions. The installer must ensure that the dishwasher is completely enclosed at the time of installation to reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or injury. Note to installer – Be sure to leave these instructions for the consumer’s and local inspector’s use. Skill level – Installation of this dishwasher requires basic mechanical and electrical skills. Completion time – 1 to 3 hours. New installations require more time than replacement installations. The dishwasher must be installed to allow for future removal from the enclosure if service is required. If you received a damaged dishwasher, you should immediately contact your dealer or builder. Installation preparation Parts supplied and materials required are listed in the manual.
• Page 2: Installation preparation Materials for new installations Tools required Phillips head screwdriver Adjustable wrench Level Measuring tape Safety glasses Bucket to catch water when flushing the line Hot water line minimum copper
• Page 3: Installation preparation requires connecting the dishwasher to a waste line with an air gap or a minimum high drain loop. The rough cabinet opening must be at least 24 inches deep and a maximum height of 35 inches. An air gap is necessary if the waste tee or disposer connection is less than 18 inches above the floor. The drain hose must not exceed 10 feet in length for proper drainage. The dishwasher must be fully enclosed on the top, sides, and back, without supporting any part of the enclosure. Drain installation depends on local codes regarding air gaps and the height of connections. An air gap must be used if the drain hose is connected to a waste tee or disposer lower than 18 inches above the floor. When installed in a corner, a minimum clearance of 2 inches is required between the dishwasher and adjacent structures. A minimum clearance of 5 25/8 inches is needed from the front of the dishwasher for door opening. Drill a 1/2 inch diameter hole in the cabinet wall for the drain hose connection, ensuring the hole is smooth with no sharp edges.
• Page 4: Installation instructions outline the necessary steps for proper setup. Cabinet preparation and wire routing should allow wiring to enter from various locations. Electrical wiring must be prepared by removing the house fuse or opening the circuit breaker before installation. A maximum diameter hole of 1.5 inches should be cut for the electrical cable, ensuring it is free of sharp edges. Electrical connections should be made on the right front of the dishwasher. The appliance requires a 120V, 60 Hz supply and must be connected to a properly grounded branch circuit. Grounding instructions specify that the appliance must be connected to a grounded metal wiring system. The hot water line may enter from multiple locations and should not pass through the power cord hole if applicable. Improper grounding can lead to electric shock; consult a qualified electrician if unsure about grounding. The installation of an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) is recommended for electrical safety.
• Page 5: Installation instructions provide guidance for connecting the water line and adjusting the dishwasher. Water line connection requires turning off the water supply and removing the toe kick. Install a hand shut-off valve in an accessible location, which is optional but strongly recommended. The hot water inlet line should be installed using no less than 3/8 O.D. copper tubing. Adjust the water heater for a temperature between 120˚F to 150˚F. Flush the water line to clean out debris before connecting. The hot water supply line pressure must be between 20 - 120 PSI. Caution is advised as opening the door may cause the dishwasher to tip forward. Before beginning, locate and set aside the package containing mounting screws. Check the door balance by holding the top of the dishwasher firmly and adjusting to 1/4 less than the installation height.
• Page 6: Installation instructions outline the steps for setting up the dishwasher. Step 4 involves installing the power cord, which must comply with local codes. A power cord kit is available for purchase from authorized dealers. The recommended power cord length is between 54 and 64. Step 6 covers the installation of the drain hose, including the use of screw type hose clamps. The drain hose should be connected to the installation hose and tightened properly. Step 7 requires inserting the drain hose through the cabinet wall hole. If using a power cord, guide it through a separate hole. Incoming power cords must be connected correctly using appropriate wire nuts. The installation should ensure that wires are not pinched under the junction box cover.
• Page 7: Installation instructions provide essential steps for proper dishwasher setup. Slide the dishwasher partially into the cabinet without pushing against the front panel with knees to avoid damage. Ensure the dishwasher is level for optimal dish rack operation and wash performance. Use a level on the door and rack track inside the tub to check the dishwasher's level. Adjust the four leveling legs individually to achieve proper leveling. Pull the drain hose through the opening under the sink as you slide the dishwasher into place. Ensure the lower rack does not roll forward or back during leveling checks. Confirm that the drain hose is not kinked and there is no interference with other components. If the door hits the tub, adjust the leveling legs to align the door properly. Secure wires under the dishwasher to prevent pinching or contact with other components.
• Page 8: Installation instructions Method 2 – To install on the side boards Step 11: Secure dishwasher to cabinet In case countertops are made of marble, granite, or other hard materials that could not be drilled, use the installation method below. Method 1 - To install using top mount cabinet clips The dishwasher must be secured to the countertop. Position the dishwasher so that the tub flange aligns with the front face of the cabinet frame. Drive screws straight and flush. Protruding screw heads will scratch the top of the control panel and can interfere with the door's ability to close. Step 12: Connect water supply Connect water supply line to 90° elbow. Make sure the door spring does not rub or contact the fill hose or water supply line. Test by opening and closing the door.
• Page 9: Installation instructions for connecting the drain line and power supply are provided. Ensure the drain plug is removed from the disposer to allow proper drainage. Follow all local codes and ordinances during installation. The drain hose can fit various diameter connections; cut as needed for your installation. Avoid unnecessary service calls by confirming the disposer drain plug is removed before connecting the dishwasher drain hose. Do not cut the corrugated portion of the hose. If a longer drain hose is needed, it can be extended up to 10 feet total. Always loop the drain hose underneath the sink with a high drain loop to prevent drainage issues. Verify that power is turned off before connecting the power supply. Use wire nuts to connect the dishwasher wires correctly in the junction box.
• Page 10: Installation instructions include checking for leaks around the door and repositioning the dishwasher if necessary. A ground must be provided by the installer if house wiring is not 2-wire with ground. Check drain lines for leaks when the dishwasher is draining and correct plumbing as necessary. Ensure most of the water has drained from the dishwasher and check for any blockages. Review the pre-test checklist after installing the dishwasher to avoid service call charges. Check that the door opens and closes freely and adjust spring settings if needed. Verify that wiring is secure and not pinched under the dishwasher. Install the toe kick and ensure it aligns properly with the dishwasher. Leave the complete literature package and installation instructions with the consumer. Verify water supply temperature is between 120°F and 150°F for optimal wash performance.
