Secure Dishwasher in Opening
The dishwasher must be secured to keep it from tilting when the door is opened. Choose one of the two methods described below for securing the dishwasher.
Countertop Anchoring:
1.If necessary, adjust leveling screws so mounting brackets touch the underside of the cdwntertop (see Figure 16).
2.Screw the mounting brackets firmly to the countertop using #8 x 5/8” Phillips head screws (supplied). Note: Check levelers to make sure weight of dishwasher rests on floor.
3.Open and close the dishwasher door slowly. If the door hits the mounting bracket screw heads, adjust front leveling legs.
Floor Anchoring:
This is a difficult procedure. Use only where the countertop mounting brackets cannot be used.
1.Screw l/4” lag screws (not included) through the holes provided in the frame rail (see Figure 76).
2.Use expansion fasteners if the floor is concrete.
