Dishwasher installation
2.Installing the dishwasher under the countertop.
It is preferable to install the main water and electric supplies so that they can be accessed through an adjacent cabinet, rather than situating them be- hind the machine. See the “Plumbing” and “Electrical” sections for proper con- nection procedures before continuing.
Certain steps in the installation proce- dures require that the dishwasher be pulled out of its opening. For this rea- son, perform the final plumbing and electrical connections after the ma- chine has been levelled and the front panel has been mounted.
Install the slides.
Two slides are included and should be installed on the feet of the dishwasher before the machine is pushed under the countertop. This will allow the ma- chine to slide easier, protect the floor, and allow adjustment of the rear level- ing legs from the front of the machine.
Place the slides, with the ratchet at the rear, onto the dishwasher legs.
Unscrew the legs to raise the ma- chine to within 1/4" (5 mm) of the underside of the countertop, and check that the machine is level, before sliding it into its opening.
Push the machine into the opening, making sure the electrical cable and hoses can reach their connection points without being kinked.
