A side panel kit is available from your dealer for installing your dishwasher at the end of your cabinetry.

A moisture barrier accessory (Part Number 4396277) is available from your dealer for installing underneath the countertop.

Check location where dishwasher will be installed. The location must provide:

easy access to water, electricity and drain.

level floor. (If floor at front of opening is not level with floor at rear of opening, shims may be needed to level dishwasher.)

Helpful Tip: Be sure to accurately measure dimensions and ensure dishwasher is level if the floor in the dishwasher opening is uneven (example: flooring extends only partway into opening).

NOTE: To avoid shifting during dishwasher operation, shims must be securely attached to the floor.

If dishwasher will be left unused for a period of time or in a location where it may be subject to freezing, have it winterized by authorized service personnel.

Make sure pipes, wires and drain hose are within the shaded area shown in the “Product and Cabinet Opening Dimensions” section.
