be sure that it faces to the
rear.
7. Remove terminal box cover. Pull appliance wires
through hole in terminal box. Do not untie the knot in
the wires.
– If you are direct wiring: install a U.L.-listed/CSA-
certified clamp connector to the terminal box. If using
conduit, use a U.L.-listed/CSA-certified conduit
connector.
– If you are installing a power supply cord kit, do so
now, following kit instructions.

9. Turn both front leveler legs to the same
height.
If the minimum cutout height is less than
34" (86.4 cm), the rear wheels can be
removed for additional clearance. This will
allow the dishwasher to fit into a 33-7/8"
(86 cm) high cutout, but the dishwasher
will be more difficult to move into
position. If the wheels are removed,
protect the floor when moving the dishwasher.
If you have built-up floors
1. Measure height of opening
from underside of
countertop to built-up
floor. If the height is at
least 33-3/4" (85.7 cm), the
dishwasher will fit into the
opening without
modification to the
countertop or flooring.
2. Put wheels in position 1
and turn the front leveler
legs up all the way.
3. Add shims as needed in the area shown to bring
dishwasher up to proper height.
NOTE: Shims must be securely attached to floor to
prevent their movement when the dishwasher is
operated.
