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.

•Locate the side mount bracket kit set aside in Step 1 if it was provided with this model. Otherwise, see Note below.

Note: The brackets are available for purchase when

needed for models not factory equipped with the side mount kit. Order part GPF65 from your authorized GE Appliance Dealer.

•Fasten the left-hand bracket to the left side of the dishwasher frame. Fasten the

right-hand bracket to the right side of the dishwasher frame, using the #8 pan-head screws included with the kit. Refer to Step 15, Figure U for orientation

and placement.

STEP 13–PUSH DISHWASHER INTO

FINAL POSITION

Tip: Check tub insulation blanket, if equipped. It should be positioned so it is not “bunched up” or interfering with door springs. Check by opening and closing door.

•Push dishwasher into the cabinet. The edges of the dishwasher door should be behind the cabinet frame and evenly aligned with the front face of cabinet doors.

Tip: Avoid unnecessary service charges. Carefully open and close the door to ensure the door panel is not catching or rubbing on the cabinet frame.

•Level the dishwasher by adjusting the four leveling legs individually. Refer to Figure S below.

•If adjustment to the right rear leveling leg is required, loosen junction box bracket screw (through the access hole) and rotate bracket clockwise. Be sure to tighten screw when leveling is completed.

Tip: Pull lower rack out, about halfway. Check to be sure the rack does not roll forward or back into dishwasher. If the rack rolls in either direction, the dishwasher must be leveled again.

•If door hits tub, the dishwasher is not installed correctly. Adjust leveling legs to align door to tub.

GSD6000, PDW7000 specifications

The GE PDW7000 and GSD6000 are two prominent models in General Electric's lineup of dishwashers, combining advanced technology and practical features to enhance the dishwashing experience. Both models are designed for efficiency, performance, and user satisfaction, catering to various household needs.

The GE PDW7000 is marked by its sleek design and numerous high-end features. One of the key highlights is its advanced wash system, which uses rotating wash arms and a high-efficiency motor to deliver powerful cleaning performance. This model is also equipped with a SmartDispense technology that automatically dispenses the right amount of detergent based on the soil level of the dishes, ensuring an optimal wash every time. Additionally, the unit boasts a noise level rating of around 42 dBA, making it one of the quietest dishwashers on the market, perfect for open-concept living spaces.

In terms of flexibility, the PDW7000 features an adjustable upper rack and a third rack for utensils, providing extra loading capacity and versatility for large families or entertaining. Its multiple wash cycles, including Heavy, Normal, and Speed cycles, cater to different cleaning needs, while the sanitize cycle ensures that harmful bacteria and germs are eliminated.
