Built-up floors: If the kitchen floor is higher than the cabinet opening's floor - for example, the kitchen floor tile does not extend into the cabinet opening - add shims as needed in the area shown to bring the dishwasher up to 34" (86.4 cm) below the countertop.

NOTE: Shims must be securely attached to floor to avoid movement when the dishwasher is in use.

Choose Attachment Option

Option 1, Countertop Attachment WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install dishwasher.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Using 2 or more people, stand the dishwasher up.

IMPORTANT: The dishwasher must be secured to the cabinet. There are two brackets found in the parts bag. Attach the brackets using Option Number 1 if the countertop is wood, laminate or another similar surface. If your countertop is marble, granite or another hard surface, install using Option Number 2.

Option 1, Countertop Attachment

Remove the brackets from the package and insert into the open slots on the left and right-hand top of the dishwasher collar as shown.

Using a pair of pliers, bend the tab down to secure the bracket in place. Repeat this step for the other side.

NOTE: Do not attach the dishwasher. This will be done later.

Option 2, Side Attachment

For marble, granite, or other hard surface countertops

Order Mounting Bracket Kit Part Number 8212560.

Prepare Water Supply Line

Copper tubing only: Slide nut, then ferrule, about 1" (2.5 cm) onto copper tubing.

NOTE: To avoid vibration during operation, route the water supply line so that it does not touch the dishwasher base, frame or motor.
