FASTEN DISHWASHER
STEP 13
TO UNDERSIDE OF
COUNTERTOP OR SIDES
OF CABINET
In this step you will need the two 5/8" Phillips-head
wood screws set aside in Step 1.
IMPORTANT – Dishwasher must be centered in cabinet
opening. Interference with cabinets or countertop will
cause leaks and damage to the door panel and/or
control panel.
• If countertop is wood or woodlike material, fasten the
dishwasher to the countertop by driving the Phillips-
head screws through the countertop brackets and
into the countertop.
• If the countertop is granite or similar material, drive
Phillips screws through side mount brackets and into
the adjacent cabinets.
• Make sure screws are driven straight and flush to
prevent interference with door operation and damage
to the control panel. See figure.

Tip: Avoid unnecessary service charges for leaks
or control panel damage.
Make sure the dishwasher is centered in the cabinet
and the door opens and closes freely without hitting the
adjacent cabinets. Drive mounting screws straight and
flush.
