Secure dishwasher in cabinet opening

1. If you have not already done so, open dishwasher door

and place towel over pump assembly and spray arm of
dishwasher. This will prevent screws from falling into
pump area when securing dishwasher to countertop.

2. Check that dishwasher is still level and centered side to

side in the opening.

3. Secure dishwasher to countertop or sides of cabinet

with two, #10 x 1/2" Phillips-head screws. The
dishwasher must be secured to keep it from tipping
when door is opened. Do not drop screws into bottom
of dishwasher. 

4. Open door about 3 inches (7.6 cm) and check that space

between inner door and tub is equal on both sides. If
spacing is not equal, loosen bracket screws and shift
tub. Tighten bracket screws.   

5. Check that top of door does not contact screws,

brackets, or countertop. If it does, dishwasher must be
lowered and re-leveled. 

6. If securing to sides of cabinet, replace the plastic

buttons.

7.

Remove towel from dishwasher. 

8. Reinstall the lower dishrack.

WARNING

Tip Over Hazard

Do not use dishwasher until completely installed.

Do not push down on open door.

Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.

Connect to drain

1. To help minimize

vibration, route drain
hose to avoid contact

water line, cabinet,
flooring or the edge of
the hole where it passes
through the cabinet.

2. Do not remove drain

loop from side of
