Slowly move dishwasher completely into cabinet opening. Do
not kink or pinch copper tubing, drain hose, power supply cord
or direct wire between dishwasher and cabinet.
Helpful Tip: Once the dishwasher is in position, you may have
to support the front of the dishwasher by raising, lowering or
shimming front feet.
Remove cardboard from under dishwasher.
Using the precut slots in the insulation, attach the insulation to
the sides of the tub using the molded hooks on each side of the
tub.
NOTE: It is all right if dishwasher fits tightly into cabinet opening.
Do not remove insulation blanket — the blanket reduces the sound
level.
Level the dishwasher
A.
Align front of dishwasher door panel with cabinet doors. You
may need to adjust alignment to be even with your cabinets.
Helpful Tip: Prop up one side of frame to hold dishwasher up
off floor when adjusting front legs.
With some installations, it may be easier to adjust the front leg
using the 76" hex head.
Check that leveling legs are firmly against the floor.
Close and latch the door. Place the level against the front of
the dishwasher to check to see if it is vertically aligned. If
needed, adjust leveling leg or add shims under rear wheel until
dishwasher is even.
Repeat for other side of dishwasher.
NOTE: Shims must be securely attached to floor to prohibit their
movement when the dishwasher is operated.
5.
Place level against top front
opening of tub. Check that
dishwasher is level from side to
side. If dishwasher is not level,
adjust front legs up or down until
