What safety precautions must I take before installing the dishwasher?

Disconnect electrical power at the fuse box or circuit breaker box before installing the dishwasher, as failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock. You must also shut off the water supply to the dishwasher before beginning installation. Do not use the dishwasher until it is completely installed, and do not push down on the open door, as doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.
