Inspecting The Dishwasher; Placing The Dishwasher - Bosch SHU 6800 Installation Instructions Manual

Inspecting the Dishwasher
After unpacking the dishwasher and prior to installation
thoroughly inspect the dishwasher for possible freight or
cosmetic damage. Report any damage immediately.
Cosmetic damage must be reported within 5 days of
installation.
Placing the Dishwasher
The profile strips on the sides of the dishwasher allow
the dishwasher to fit into a cabinet opening with a width
of 23-5/8" (600 ram) to 24" (610 mm). Before sliding
the dishwasher into the cabinet opening:
I. Determine how the mounting brackets will be
placed. The brackets may be placed so as to fasten to
the underside of the counter top, in Figure 8, or, the
brackets may be bent and set to fasten to the side of
the cabinet opening as, Figure 9. The dishwasher
should be mounted to the side of the cabinet if there
is a granite, marble or other hard natural surface
counter top that could be damaged by drilling. Once
decided, set the mounting brackets before sliding the
dishwasher into place, see Figure 10.

Once slid into place make final leveling adjustments as
shown in Figure 1 I. Then to maintain the dishwasher
position and alignment, drive 2 wood screws through the
holes in the mounting flanges that had been placed at
each of the front comers, as shown in Figures 8 and 9.
Once the dishwasher has been leveled and secured in
place proceed to the connection of the drain hose, hot
water supply line and electrical connections as described
in the following sections. Be sure to follow your
national and local codes at all times.

2. Straighten the hot water supply line and the electrical
cable so that it can be easily pulled through the
channel imder the dishwasher. See Figure 10.
3. Guide the drain hose carefully as the dishwasher is
slid into the cabinet opening so that there are
no kinks in the hose once the dishwasher is in place.
4. All necessary tinal leveling and alignment
adjustments can be made after sliding the dishwasher
into the cabinet opening. It is however recommended
that the adjustments be made before sliding the
dishwasher into opening and then any final line
adjustments made after the dishwasher is in place.
