Built-up floors: If the kitchen floor is higher than the cabinet opening's floor - for example, the kitchen floor tile does not extend into the cabinet opening - add shims as needed in the area shown to bring the dishwasher up to 34" (86.4 cm) below the countertop.

NOTE: Shims must be securely attached to floor to avoid movement when the dishwasher is in use.

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install dishwasher.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Using 2 or more people, stand the dishwasher up.

IMPORTANT: The dishwasher must be secured to the cabinet. There are two brackets found in the parts bag. Attach the brackets using Option A if the countertop is wood, laminate or another similar surface. If your countertop is marble, granite or another hard surface, install using Option B.

Option A, Countertop Attachment

Remove the brackets from the package and insert into the open slots on the left and right-hand top of the dishwasher collar as shown.

Using a pair of pliers, bend the tab down to secure the bracket in place. Repeat this step for the other side.

NOTE: Do not attach the dishwasher. This will be done later.

Option B, Side Attachment

For marble, granite, or other hard surface countertops

NOTE: Remove the brackets from the parts package.

Break off the end of the bracket along the scored line.

With another person holding the rear of the dishwasher to keep it from tipping, open dishwasher door and place towel over pump assembly and spray arm of dishwasher. This will keep screws from falling into pump area when you are securing dishwasher to cabinet.
