A:AnswerWhen you buy the dishwasher, you get a users guide. But if you have the dishwasher but no users guide, you can Google it online and you should be able to find a guide there. Of course, you need to have a specific model number in order to find the right users guide. If you inherited the dishwasher, like from renting an apartment or buying a home, call Kitchen Aid and they will be able to tell you where to find the numbers you need to search for a users guide online. These numbers are not hidden, you should be able to see them.

Hint: Run the drain and water supply lines from the supply and drain side, through the opening in the cabinet and then connect to the dishwasher. Much easier this way than to fish blindly through the front opening of the cabinet and reaching around.
