IMPORTANT: Double-check correct placement of utilities. Grasp
the sides of the dishwasher at the edges of the door panel. Tilt
dishwasher backward on wheels and move dishwasher close to
cabinet opening.
NOTE: Do not push on the front of the panel or on the console.
Panel or console may dent.
Helpful Tip: Temporarily tape utilities to the floor in the locations
shown to prohibit them from moving when dishwasher is moved
into the cabinet opening.
Check that water line is on the left side of opening and drain hose
is near the center of the cabinet opening.
With another person holding the dishwasher to keep it from
tipping, open and close the door a few times. If the door closes or
falls open under its own weight, the door tension will need to be
adjusted.
To adjust the door spring tension, unhook the spring from the rear
leg of dishwasher.
Using a " nut driver or hex socket, remove the screw from the
tensioner.
The screw can be put into one of 3 holes (1, 2, 3) in the front leg of
dishwasher. If the door closes by itself, move the tensioner to a
lower-numbered hole and replace screw. Reattach door spring to
rear leg.
NOTE: Tensioners on both sides of dishwasher should be secured
at same holes.
When door is unlatched, if door opens by itself, move the
tensioner to a higher-numbered hole and replace the screw.
Reattach door spring to rear leg.
NOTE: Tensioners on both sides of dishwasher should be secured
at same holes.
