STEP 10
POSITION DISHWASHER UNDER COUNTERTOP
• Push the dishwasher into the cabinet.
• Push at the sides with your hands. Do not use your
knee against the door since door damage will occur.
• Check that the tub insulation blanket does not get
"bunched-up" or interfere with the springs as you
slide it into the cabinet.
• Center the dishwasher in the opening.
• Check that the edges of the dishwasher door are
behind the cabinet frame and aligned with the front
face of the cabinet as shown.
• Carefully open and close the door to ensure that the
door panel does not catch or rub on the cabinet frame.
• If the door catches or rubs on the frame, reposition
and/or level the unit (see Step 11) until the door moves
freely and does not contact the cabinet frame.
The controls are designed to be hidden by your
countertop. Align the dishwasher as shown in Figure T.
NOTE: If the drain hose gets trapped between the wall
and the back side of the dishwasher, it can prevent the
dishwasher from sliding all the way back into the
cabinet opening, and thus preventing a flush fit with
the kitchen cabinet panels.
TIP: For best appearance installations of custom panel
models, it may be necessary to cut off the back panel
of the tub insulation blanket so that the dishwasher
door panel can be aligned flush with the kitchen
cabinet panels.
The leveling legs can be used to increase or decrease
the amount of gap between the controls and the
countertop affecting the visibility of the controls.
Leave a 1/2" minimum gap between the underside
of the countertop and the top of the dishwasher
door (see Figure V).
IMPORTANT
gap between the controls and the underside of the
countertop to prevent condensation and damage to the
control panel from screwheads.
NOTE: If this dishwasher is replacing an existing
dishwasher, the old countertop bracket screw holes
may not be in the correct position to accept a top
control model. New holes may be required.
