STEP 10 POSITION DISHWASHER UNDER COUNTERTOP

•Push the dishwasher into the cabinet.

•Push at the sides with your hands. Do not use your knee against the door since door damage will occur.

•Check that the tub insulation blanket does not get “bunched-up” or interfere with the springs as you slide it into the cabinet.

•Center the dishwasher in the opening.

•Check that the edges of the dishwasher door are behind the cabinet frame and aligned with the front face of the cabinet as shown.

•Carefully open and close the door to ensure that the door panel does not catch or rub on the cabinet frame.

•If the door catches or rubs on the frame, reposition and/or level the unit (see Step 11) until the door moves freely and does not contact the cabinet frame.

Positioning for

PDW9200-PDW9800 Series

The controls on these models are designed to be hidden by your countertop. Align the dishwasher as shown.

NOTE: For flush installations of the PDW9700 Series models, cut off the back panel of the tub insulation blanket so that the dishwasher door panel can be aligned with the kitchen cabinet panels.

NOTE: If the drain hose gets “bunched-up” behind the unit it can prevent the controls from being hidden by the countertop.

NOTE: If this dishwasher is replacing an existing dishwasher, the old countertop bracket screw holes may not be in the correct position to accept a top- control model. New holes may be required.
