Installing the Mounting Brackets

CAUTION
: Before installing the supplied mounting
brackets (letter E in the Materials Supplied section of this
manual), decide which method of securing the dishwasher
into its enclosure will be used. Once the mounting
brackets are installed on the dishwasher, removing them is
difficult and will damage the mounting brackets and the
Figure 10
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
A
brackets as shown in Figure 11, letter A, 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 holes
and in the same direction as the two small tabs. Orient the
B
mounting brackets as shown in Figure 11, letter B, 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.
