Check Door Spring Tension

1.Using 2 or more people, place the dishwasher upright in front of cabinet opening.

2.With one person holding the dishwasher to avoid tipping, open and close the dishwasher door a few times. If the door closes easily or falls open under its own weight, adjust the tension.

■If the door closes too quickly, decrease the spring tension by pulling the spring adjustment pin out of its hole and reinsert it into the next hole toward the back of the dishwasher.

■If the door falls open, increase the spring tension by pulling the spring adjustment pin out of its hole and reinserting it into the next hole toward the top of the dishwasher.

NOTE: The spring adjustment pins should be in the same holes on both the left-hand and right-hand sides of the dishwasher.

Move Dishwasher into Cabinet Opening

1.Using 2 or more people, grasp the sides of the dishwasher at the edges of the door panel and move dishwasher close to the cabinet opening.

NOTE: Do not push on the front of the panel or on the console to avoid bending or denting them.

2.If direct wired, check that the power supply wire is on the right-hand side at the front of the cabinet opening.

If using a power supply cord, insert the power supply cord through the hole cut in the cabinet wall.

3.Check that the water supply line is on the left-hand side of the cabinet opening.

4.Check that the drain hose is near the center and to the front of the cabinet opening.

5.Slowly move the dishwasher into place inside the cabinet opening with the front corners of the dishwasher door flush with the cabinet doors.

NOTES:

■Do not kink or pinch the copper tubing, drain hose, power supply cord or the direct wire between the dishwasher and the cabinet.

■Do not removed the insulation blanket from dishwasher to allow the dishwasher to fit easier into the cabinet opening. The insulation blanket reduces the sound level when the dishwasher is operating.

6.If needed, support the front of the dishwasher by raising, lowering or shimming the front legs.

7.Remove cardboard from beneath the dishwasher.

Level the Dishwasher

1.Align the front of the dishwasher door panel with the cabinet doors by adjusting the front legs using the 6" (15.24 cm) adjustable wrench.

2.Check that the leveling legs are firmly against the floor.

3.Close and latch the dishwasher door.

4.Place a level against the front panel above the leg to check that the dishwasher is plumb. If needed, adjust the leveling leg or add shims until the dishwasher is plumb.

NOTE: Shims must be securely attached to the floor to avoid their movement during dishwasher operation.

5.Repeat for the other side of the dishwasher.

6.Place the level against the top front opening of the tub. Check that the dishwasher is level from side to side. If the dishwasher is not level, adjust the front legs up or down until the dishwasher is level.
