4 Open and close door
With another person holding the dishwasher to keep it from tipping, open and close the door a few times. If the door closes or falls open under its own weight, the door tension will need to be adjusted.
5 Closes too quickly— Decrease spring tension
If the door closes too quickly, decrease the spring tension by moving the spring end toward the front of the dishwasher.
NOTE: Springs should be in the same notches on left and right sides.
6 Door falls open— Increase spring tension
If the door falls open, increase the spring tension by moving the spring end toward the back of the dishwasher.
NOTE: Springs should be in the same notches on left and right sides.

7 Move dishwasher into cabinet opening
Insulation
blanket
IMPORTANT: If wheels were removed, cover the floor when moving the dishwasher. Slowly move dishwasher completely into cabinet opening. Do not kink or pinch water line, drain hose, power supply cord or direct wire between dishwasher and cabinet. Remove cardboard from under dishwasher.
NOTE: It is all right if dishwasher fits tightly into cabinet opening. Do not remove insulation blanket – the blanket reduces the sound level.
NOTE: If using power cord, make sure to route end through hole in cutout before sliding into cabinet opening.
8 Align front of dishwasher with front of cabinet doors
Align front of dishwasher door panel with front of cabinet doors. You may need to adjust alignment to be even with your cabinets.
9 Check for plumb and adjust legs if needed
Check that leveling legs are firmly against the floor. Close and latch the door, and place level against the
front panel. Check that dishwasher is centered from front to back in the opening. If needed, adjust leveling leg until dishwasher is plumb. Repeat for other side of dishwasher.
