Height of Cabinet Cutout and
Positioning of Leveling Wheels
It is recommended that the dishwasher be installed
so that it is level as possible from front to back. To
do this: Measure the height of the cutout opening.
If the countertop extends lower than the cabinet
cutout, this is the dimension that must be used.
The minimum height needed is 34-l/4': As shipped,
the unit can be installed in a cutout that is a min-
imum of 34-3/8" high. If the cutout is more than
34-5/8" high or less than 34-3/B" high, refer to the
chart below for the position the leveling wheels
should be put in.

Move the leveling wheels to the proper holes.
When using wheel position 1, the front levelers
need not be preadjusted. For wheel position 2 or
3, preadjust the front levelers out 4 full turns.
If wheel position 4 or 5 is used, preadjust the front
levelers out 10 full turns.
Moving Dishwasher into Opening
Now you are ready to move the dishwasher into
place so that it can be aligned with adjoining cab-
inets. Move your dishwasher into the opening and
make any adjustment necessary to:
1. Align the door front of the dishwasher, as close
as possible, with the front of the cabinets. (Top
to bottom)
2. Make the space between the dishwasher and the
adjoining cabinets the same on each side and the
same width top to bottom.
Note: The front levelers must set firmly against
the floor. Double check to make sure the leveling
wheels are at the right adjustment and the dish-
washer is as level as possible front to back.
