Installation Instructions

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.

The controls are designed to be hidden by your countertop. Align the dishwasher as shown in Figure T.

TIP: For best appearance installations of the ZBD6890 models, it may be necessary to cut off the back panel of the tub insulation blanket so that the dishwasher door panel can be aligned flush with the kitchen cabinet panels.

NOTE: If the drain hose gets trapped between the wall and the back side of the dishwasher, it can prevent the dishwasher from sliding all the way back into the cabinet opening, and thus preventing a flush fit with the kitchen cabinet panels.

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

TIP: The leveling legs can be used to increase or decrease the amount of gap between the controls and the countertop affecting the visibility of the controls.

IMPORTANT — Leave enough gap between the controls and the countertop brackets so that the screwheads do not contact and scratch the controls.
