INSTALL MOUNTING
STEP 12
BRACKETS
You will need the mounting brackets and 2 #8 hex-
head screws set aside in Step 1.
You must install the mounting brackets onto the
dishwasher tub frame top or sides prior to sliding
the dishwasher into place under the countertop. This
dishwasher is capable of a true-flush installation at a
24" deep opening. The mounting brackets have several
available attachment positions to accommodate different
cabinet constructions.
Install mounting brackets on top if the
underside of countertop is wood or wood-like
material that accepts screws:
IMPORTANT - After installing brackets and before
closing the dishwasher door, adjust the brackets
by bending them up as needed, so that they do not
contact the top of the dishwasher door and cause
damage.

• If you are installing the dishwasher under a counter
with a short overhang, the countertop brackets may
extend beyond the edge of the counter. If this is
the case, remove the excess length by repeatedly
bending the brackets at the front notch only until they
break.

STEP 13 PUSH DISHWASHER INTO
FINAL 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.
• Slide the dishwasher into the final position by
pushing on the sides of the door panel. Do not push
or pull the door in a partially open or closed position
when moving the dishwasher. Do not use a knee or
push on the center of the panel. If you do, damage to
the panel will likely result. Check that the dishwasher
is squarely positioned in the cabinet opening at
both the top and the bottom of the appliance prior to
mounting to the cabinet.
IMPORTANT
– Before opening the dishwasher door,
be certain the edges of the dishwasher door panel
are behind the face of the adjacent cabinet and not
up against the cabinet face. Refer to Figure U. If the
dishwasher door is opened when the edge of the door
is against the face of the cabinet, dishwasher door
damage and cabinet damage will occur.
