Position, Align, and Level the Dishwasher
Before moving the dishwasher into the opening:
lAdjust the front levelers so the top of the machine is l/T below the underside of the countertop
(see Figure 72).
lUsing a hex end wrench or 3/~$ socket, adjust rear levelers to level the dishwasher from front to back.
lCut away carpeting (if necessary) to provide the dishwasher’s motor adequate clearance for ventilation. A minimum l/a” gap is required between motor and floor.
You can now move the dishwasher into the opening and align it with the cabinets. Use caution when moving the appliance to prevent damage to floor coverings and adjacent cabinets.
lAlign the front of the dishwasher as flush as possible with front of the cabinets.
lAlign the dishwasher so that the amount of space is the same on each side and the same from top to bottom.
NOTE: Double check the levelers to make sure they set firmly against the floor. Leveling is necessary for proper function of the dishwasher.
You are now ready to proceed with the final drain, water, and electrical connections.

NOTE: Be sure there are no sharp bends, kinks, or twists in the drain hose.
