The dishwasher must be secured to the countertop
or the cabinet sides. When countertops are made of
wood, use Method 1. When countertops are granite
or other materials that will not accept screws, use
Method 2 to secure dishwasher at the sides.
NOTE:
If desired, drill pilot holes through the
dishwasher holes before inserting screws to minimize
the possibility of damage to cabinets or countertop.

the dishwasher is centered in the opening and there is
no interference with adjacent cabinets when opening
or closing the door.
Method 1 – Secure dishwasher to wood countertop:
