Built-up floors: If the kitchen floor is higher than the cabinet 

opening’s floor - for example, the kitchen floor tile does not 

extend into the cabinet opening - add shims, as needed, in the 

area shown to bring the dishwasher up to 34" (864 mm) below 

the countertop.

NOTE: Shims must be securely attached to floor to avoid 

movement when the dishwasher is in use.

Remove and discard the foam blocks (if blocks are present; 

not all models have them) located above the front legs on
