Installation Instructions
STEP 12– INSTALL SIDE-MOUNT
BRACKETS (included with
some models)
Skip this step if underside of countertop is wood or
wood-like material.
• Install side-mount brackets if underside of countertop is
granite or similar material that will not accept wood screws.
• Locate the side mount bracket kit set aside in Step 1 if it was
provided with this model. Otherwise, see Note below.
Note: The brackets are available for purchase when
needed for models not factory equipped with the side mount kit.
Order part GPF65 from your authorized GE Appliance Dealer.
• Fasten the left-hand bracket to the left side
of the dishwasher frame. Fasten the
right-hand bracket to the right side of the
dishwasher frame, using the #8 pan-head
screws included with the kit. Refer to
Step 15, Figure U for orientation
and placement.
STEP 13– PUSH DISHWASHER INTO
FINAL POSITION
Tip: Check tub insulation blanket, if equipped. It should be
positioned so it is not "bunched up" or interfering with door
springs. Check by opening and closing door.
• Push dishwasher into the cabinet. The edges of the dishwasher
door should be behind the cabinet frame and evenly aligned
with the front face of cabinet doors.
Tip: Avoid unnecessary service charges. Carefully open and
close the door to ensure the door panel is not catching or
rubbing on the cabinet frame.

• Level the dishwasher by adjusting the four leveling legs
individually. Refer to Figure S below.
• If adjustment to the right rear leveling leg is required, loosen
junction box bracket screw (through the access hole) and
rotate bracket clockwise. Be sure to tighten screw when
leveling is completed.
Tip: Pull lower rack out, about halfway. Check to be sure the rack
does not roll forward or back into dishwasher. If the rack rolls in
either direction, the dishwasher must be leveled again.
• If door hits tub, the dishwasher is not installed correctly. Adjust
leveling legs to align door to tub.
