Bottom sound pad installation (on some models)

1.Remove the bottom sound pad from inside the dishwasher and take it out of the plastic bag.

2.Place pad on the floor in front of the dishwasher, making sure lettering is facing up and vinyl pad faces down.

3.Fold up and hold the side panels down. Carefully slide the pad toward the back of the dishwasher as far as it will go, making sure not to push or pull any wires or hoses. (Do not force.) Side panels will open to proper position.

NOTE: If there are pipes or other obstructions coming up through the floor, you will need to cut a slit in the pad to fit around the obstacle.

4.Fold the front end of the pad up into position. Make sure the vinyl pad is tucked up behind the door and the dishwasher front legs, as shown.
