9.Turn both front leveler legs to the same height.

If the minimum cutout height is less than 34” (86.4 cm), the rear wheels can be removed for additional clearance. This will allow the dishwasher to fit into a 33-7/8”

(86 cm) high cutout, but the dishwasher will

be more difficult to move into position. If front leg the wheels are removed, protect the floor

when moving the dishwasher.
