IMPORTANT: If wheels were removed, protect the floor
when moving the dishwasher. Slowly move dishwasher
completely into cabinet opening. Do not kink or pinch
water line, drain hose, power supply cord or direct wire
between dishwasher and cabinet. Remove cardboard
from under dishwasher.
NOTE: It is all right if dishwasher fits tightly into cabinet
opening. Do not remove insulation blanket – the blanket
