Installation Instructions

STEP 11 POSITION DISHWASHER UNDER COUNTERTOP

•Push the dishwasher into the cabinet.

•Push 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.

•Front of door panel should be ﬂush with face of cabinet.

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

Positioning for PDW9200-PDW9900, CDW9000 Series

The controls on these models are designed to be hidden by your countertop. Align the dishwasher as shown in Figure U. Leave a 1/2" minimum gap between the underside of the countertop and the top of the dishwasher door as shown in Figure X.

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 trapped 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.

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 a 1/2" minimum gap between the controls and the underside of the countertop to prevent condensation and damage to the control panel from screwheads.
