STEP 12: INSTALL GPF65 SIDE-MOUNT BRACKETS

Skip this step if underside of countertop is wood or wood-like material.

Install side-mount brackets if underside of countertop is granite or similar material that will not accept wood screws.

Note: The brackets are available for purchase if needed. Obtain a GPF65 kit from your authorized GE Appliance Dealer.

Fasten the left-hand bracket to the left side of the dishwasher frame and the right-hand bracket to the right side of the dishwasher frame, using the #8 pan-head screws

included with the kit. Refer to instructions included in kit for orientation and placement of the brackets.

If you are installing the dishwasher under a counter with a short overhang, the countertop brackets may extend beyond the edge of the counter. If this is the case, remove the excess length by repeatedly bending the brackets at the notches until they break off.

STEP 13: PUSH DISHWASHER INTO

FINAL POSITION

Check the tub insulation blanket, if equipped, to be sure it is smoothly wrapped around the tub. It should not be “bunched up” and it must not interfere with the door springs. If the insulation is “bunched up” or interfering with the springs, straighten and re-center the blanket prior to sliding the dishwasher into its final position.

Slide the dishwasher into the final position by pushing on the sides of the door panel. Do not use a knee or push on the center of the panel. If you do, damage to the panel will likely result.

The dishwasher is in the final position when the edges of the front panel are flush with the adjacent cabinets and the dishwasher is centered in the cabinet opening.

IMPORTANT Before opening the dishwasher door, be certain the edges of the dishwasher door panel are behind

the face of the adjacent cabinet and not up against the cabinet

face. Refer to Figure Q. If the dishwasher door is opened when the edge of the door is against the face of the cabinet,

dishwasher door damage and cabinet damage will occur.

Open and close the dishwasher door to be sure it operates smoothly, and does not rub on the adjacent cabinet.

Tip: Prevent unnecessary service cha rges for panel damage or wash performance

Check dishwasher alignment prior to opening dishwasher door to prevent panel damage.

Make sure utility lines are not trapped or crushed behind dishwasher. Crushed lines will restrict water flow.
