Dishwasher preparation involves four tasks:
•
Installing the Mounting Brackets
Removing the Toe Panel
Installing the 90 ° elbow fitting
Junction Box Preparation
Installing the Countertop
Mounting
Brackets
Before installing
the supplied
countertop
mounting
brackets, decide which method of securing
the
dishwasher
into its enclosure
wilt be used. Once
the mounting
brackets are installed on the dish-
washer, removing them is difficult
and will damage
the mounting
brackets and the dishwasher.
The dishwasher can be secured into its enclosure in two
ways:
1 Top Mount is used for countertops made of wood or
other materials that can easily drilled, Orient the
mounting brackets as shown in Figure 10, and
position the two small tabs on the mounting brackets
over the two slots on the dishwasher's front corners,
Push the mounting brackets down firmly to insert the
tabs into the slots,
2 Side Mount is used for countertops made of marble,
granite, or other very hard materials that cannot be
easily drilled, Bend the mounting brackets along the
small hobs and in the same direction as the two small
tabs, Orient the mounting brackets as shown in Figure
11, and position the two small tabs on the mounting
brackets over the two slots on the dishwasher's front
corners, Push the mounting brackets down firmly to
insert the tabs into the slots,
Tip Over Hazard

dishwasher
until it is completeJy
installed.
When
opening the door on an uninstaHed dishwasher,
carefully
open the door while supporting
the rear
of the unit. Failure to follow this warning
can
