Dishwasher Installation

STEP 14: LEVEL DISHWASHER

IMPORTANT –Dishwasher must be level for proper dish rack operation, wash performance and door operation. The dishwasher must be leveled left to right and front to back. This ensures the dish racks will not roll in or out on their own, circulation water will flow to the pump inlet, and the door will close without hitting the side of the tub.

•Remove the lower dish rack and place a level on the door and lower rack track as shown in Figure R.

•Adjust the level of the dishwasher by individually turning the four legs on the bottom of the dishwasher as illustrated in Figure S.

•The dishwasher is properly leveled when the level indicator is centered left to right and front to back. Also, the dishwasher door should close without hitting the side of the tub.

•Replace the lower rack.

STEP 15: POSITION DISHWASHER, SECURE TO COUNTERTOP OR CABINET

In this step you will need the 2 Phillips special head screws from the screw kit set aside in Step 1.

The dishwasher must be secured to the countertop or the cabinet sides. When the underside of the countertop is wood, use Method 1. Use Method 2 when the underside of the countertop is made of a material, such as granite, that will not accept wood screws.

IMPORTANT – Prevent door panel and control panel damage. Dishwasher must be positioned so the front panel and control panel do not contact the adjacent cabinets or countertop. Mounting screws must be driven straight and flush. Protruding screw heads could scratch the door panel or control panel and interfere with door operation.

Method 1

Secure dishwasher to underside of wood countertop.

•Recheck alignment of the dishwasher in the cabinet . Refer to Steps 13 and 14. Door panel and/or control panel must not hit cabinets or countertop.

•Fasten the dishwasher to the underside of the countertop with the 2 Phillips special head screws. Refer to Figure T. Make certain screws are driven straight and flush to prevent panel damage.
