they can interfere with or contact dishwasher motor or legs.
The location where the dishwasher will be installed must

should not touch the floor.
Do not install dishwasher over carpeted flooring.

A side panel kit is available from your dealer for installing
your dishwasher at the end of your cabinetry.
A moisture barrier accessory (Part Number 4396277) is
available from your dealer for installing underneath the

floor at rear of opening, shims may be needed to level

Helpful Tip: Be sure to accurately measure dimensions
and ensure dishwasher is level if the floor in the
dishwasher opening is uneven (example: Flooring
extends only partway into opening).
NOTE: To avoid shifting during dishwasher operation,
shims must be securely attached to the floor.
If dishwasher will be left unused for a period of time or in a
location where it may be subject to freezing, have it
winterized by authorized service personnel.
Make sure pipes, wires and drain hose are within the
shaded area shown in the "Product and Cabinet
Opening Dimensions" section.
