DISHWASHER PREPARATION

Dishwasher preparation involves four tasks:
• Installing the Mounting Brackets
• Removing the Toe Panel
• Installing the 90° elbow fitting
• Junction Box Preparation
Installing the Mounting Brackets
CAUTION: Before installing the supplied
mounting brackets (letter E in the Materials
Supplied section of this manual), decide
which method of securing the dishwasher
into its enclosure will be used. Once the
mounting brackets are installed on the
dishwasher, removing them is difficult and
will damage the mounting brackets and the
dishwasher.
The dishwasher can be secured into its enclosure in
two ways:
1) Top Mount is used for countertops made of wood
or other materials that can be easily drilled. Orient
the mounting brackets as shown in Figure 11, letter
A, and position the two small tabs on the mounting
brackets over the two slots on the dishwasher's front
corners. Push the mounting brackets down firmly to
insert the tabs into the slots.
2) Side Mount is used for countertops made of
marble, granite, or other very hard materials that
cannot be easily drilled. Bend the mounting brackets
along the small holes and in the same direction as
the two small tabs. Orient the mounting brackets as
shown in Figure 11, letter B, and position the two
small tabs on the mounting brackets over the two
slots on the dishwasher's front corners. Push the
mounting brackets down firmly to insert the tabs into
the slots.
