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.
NOTES:
• It is all right if dishwasher fits tightly into cabinet
opening. Do not remove insulation blanket – the blanket
reduces the sound level.
• If using power cord, make sure to route end through hole
in cutout before sliding dishwasher into cabinet opening.
• For models with water softener, make sure that the drain
hose stays on the hanger that is on the right-hand side
and is tucked in on the side of the unit.

adjust legs if needed

to back in the opening. If needed, adjust leveling leg until
dishwasher is plumb. Repeat for other side of dishwasher.
