tub on the inside and check if the the dishwasher is level.
If it is not level, rotate the leveling legs at the bottom front

back, as shown in the fi gure to the right.
If the dishwasher is not level front to back, adjust the
height of the rear leg until the dishwasher is level.
See the second note below for instructions on adusting
the the rear leg.
3. Open the door of the dishwasher and
check if both the tub and door clearances
are correct.
If not, rotate the leveling legs on the
bottom front of the dishwasher.
You can also check this by placing a level
against an inside front vertical surface of
the tub.

dishwasher is lowered.
To adjust the height of a rear leg, turn the Hexbolt (at
the front of the base) to the left to raise the back of the
dishwasher using the proper tool (Hex L-wrench or
similar tool).
