IMPORTANT – Do not push against front panel with
knees. Damage will occur.
• Grasp the sides of the front panel and slide the
dishwasher into the opening a few inches at a time.
Pull the drain hose and power cord, if equipped,
through the holes in the adjacent cabinet while sliding
the dishwasher into position.
• Check the tub insulation blanket, if equipped, to be
sure it is smoothly wrapped around the tub. It should
not be "bunched up" and it must not interfere with
the door springs. If the insulation is "bunched up" or
interfering with the springs, straighten and re-center
the blanket prior to sliding the dishwasher into its final
position.
• Make sure the drain hose is not kinked under or
behind the dishwasher.
• Make certain the house wiring, drain line and water
line do not interfere with components under the
dishwasher.
• The dishwasher tub flange should be approximately
3/4" behind the face of the adjacent cabinet. Refer to
figure.
Tip: Avoid unnecessary service charges for panel
damage.
Do not press on the center of panel with hands or
knees when sliding dishwasher into position.

LEVEL DISHWASHER

STEP 12
IMPORTANT – Dishwasher must be level for proper
dish rack operation, wash performance and door
operation. The dishwasher must be leveled left to right
and front to back. This ensures the dish racks will not
roll in or out on their own, circulation water will flow to
the pump inlet, and the door will close without hitting
the side of the tub.
• Remove the lower dish rack and place a level on the
door and lower rack track as shown in figure.
Check Level
Front to Back
• Adjust the level of the dishwasher by individually
turning the 4 legs on the bottom of the dishwasher as
shown. Ensure all 4 legs are firmly in contact with the
floor.
Turn Legs
to Adjust
• The dishwasher is properly leveled when the level
indicator is centered left to right and front to back.
Also, the dishwasher door should close without hitting
the side of the tub.
• Replace the lower rack.
Tip: Prevent unnecessary service charges. Verify
dishwasher is leveled.
Pull the dish racks half way out. They should stay put.
Open and close the door. The door should fit in the
tub opening without hitting the side of the tub. If the
racks roll on their own, or the door hits the side of tub,
re-level the dishwasher.
