Adjusting Rear Leveling Foot
Use a Phillips screwdriver to adjust the rear
leveling foot and the rear of the tub using the
center screw at the base of the appliance in the
front.
• Turn the center screw clockwise to raise the rear
of the tub and counterclockwise to lower it.
NOTE
• To avoid damaging the screw, do not use an
electric screwdriver.
Securing Dishwasher in
Cabinet Opening
There are 2 options for securing the dishwasher. If
the countertop is made of wood or a material that
can safely be drilled into, secure the dishwasher to
the countertop with the provided brackets. If the
countertop is granite, marble, or a material that
cannot be drilled into, secure the dishwasher to
the cabinet frame with the provided wood screws.
CAUTION
• Ensure the dishwasher is level and all leveling
feet are in firm contact with the floor before
attaching the dishwasher to the countertop or
cabinet. If the dishwasher is not leveled
properly, the door may not close properly or
water may leak.
NOTE
• Installation brackets and screws can be found in
the silverware basket.
• Use a magnetic screwdriver.
• Cover the filter hole with towels to prevent
screws from falling down into the pump.
Securing Dishwasher to Countertop

brackets at the top of the dishwasher to the
underside of the wood countertop.
