WARNING

Tip Over Hazard

Do not use dishwasher until completely installed. Do not push down on open door.

Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.

1.If you have not already done so, open dishwasher door and place towel over pump assembly and spray arm of dishwasher. This will prevent screws from falling into pump area when securing dishwasher to countertop.

2.Check that dishwasher is still level and centered side to side in the opening.

3.Secure dishwasher to countertop or sides of cabinet with two, #10 x 1/2" Phillips-head screws. The dishwasher must be secured to keep it from tipping when door is opened. Do not drop screws into bottom of dishwasher.
