MOUNTING THE DISHWASHER

1. Install the faucet (not included). The dish-
washer is shipped ready for installation of
a one-hole faucet. If a two-, three- or four-
hole faucet is to be installed, the holes
must be added by a qualified plumber
according to the faucet manufacturer's
specifications.
2. Apply a 1/4" bead of silicone caulk around
bottom of rim.
