Installation Instructions

STEP 12–INSTALL SIDE-MOUNT BRACKETS (included with some models)

Skip this step if underside of countertop is wood or wood-like material.

•Install side-mount brackets if underside of countertop is granite or similar material that will not accept wood screws.

•Locate the side mount bracket kit set aside in Step 1 if it was provided with this model. Otherwise, see Note below.

Note: The brackets are available for purchase when

needed for models not factory equipped with the side mount kit. Order part GPF65 from your authorized GE Appliance Dealer.

•Fasten the left-hand bracket to the left side of the dishwasher frame. Fasten the

right-hand bracket to the right side of the dishwasher frame, using the #8 pan-head screws included with the kit. Refer to Step 15, Figure U for orientation

and placement.

STEP 14–LEVEL DISHWASHER

IMPORTANT – Dishwasher must be level for proper dish rack operation and wash performance.

•Place level on door and lower rack track as shown. Check to make sure that the dishwasher is level left to right and front to back.

STEP 13–PUSH DISHWASHER INTO

FINAL POSITION

Tip: Check tub insulation blanket, if equipped. It should be positioned so it is not “bunched up” or interfering with door springs. Check by opening and closing door.

•Push dishwasher into the cabinet. The edges of the dishwasher door should be behind the cabinet frame and evenly aligned with the front face of cabinet doors.

Tip: Avoid unnecessary service charges. Carefully open and close the door to ensure the door panel is not catching or rubbing on the cabinet frame.

•Level the dishwasher by adjusting the four leveling legs individually. Refer to Figure S below.

•If adjustment to the right rear leveling leg is required, loosen junction box bracket screw (through the access hole) and rotate bracket clockwise. Be sure to tighten screw when leveling is completed.

Tip: Pull lower rack out, about halfway. Check to be sure the rack does not roll forward or back into dishwasher. If the rack rolls in either direction, the dishwasher must be leveled again.

•If door hits tub, the dishwasher is not installed correctly. Adjust leveling legs to align door to tub.
