How do I check that the dishwasher is working properly after installation?

Start the dishwasher and allow it to complete the shortest wash cycle. After the first 2 minutes, unlatch the door, wait 5 seconds, then open the door and check that there is water in the bottom of the tub. If the dishwasher is not working properly, disconnect power or unplug it and refer to the 'If Dishwasher Does Not Operate' section.
