IMPORTANT: If wheels were removed, cover the floor
when moving the dishwasher. Slowly move dishwasher
completely into cabinet opening. Do not kink or pinch
water line, drain hose, power supply cord or direct wire
between dishwasher and cabinet. Remove cardboard
from under dishwasher.
NOTE: It is all right if dishwasher fits tightly into cabinet
opening. Do not remove insulation blanket – the blanket
reduces the sound level.
NOTE: If using power cord, make sure to route end
through hole in cutout before sliding into cabinet opening.

with front of cabinet doors

cabinet doors. You may need to adjust alignment to be
even with your cabinets.

Check for plumb and
adjust legs if needed
Check that leveling legs are firmly against the floor.
Close and latch the door, and place level against the
front panel. Check that dishwasher is centered from front
to back in the opening. If needed, adjust leveling leg until
dishwasher is plumb. Repeat for other side of dishwasher.
Helpful Tip: Push up on front of dishwasher to raise
dishwasher off the ground to adjust front legs. With
some installations, it may be easier to adjust the front leg
using the " hex head socket or adjustable wrench.
