STEP 13 –  SLIDE DISHWASHER INTO 

FINAL POSITION

• Push the dishwasher the rest of the way into the cabinet.
• Push the sides with your hands. Do not push the dishwasher 

with your knee, as this will damage the door.

• 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.
• Front of door panel should be fl ush with face of cabinet.
• Carefully open and close the door to ensure that the door 

panel does not catch or rub on the cabinet frame. Refer to 
Figure U below.

• If the door catches or rubs on the frame, reposition and/or 

level the unit (see Step 14) until the door moves freely and 
does not contact the cabinet frame.

Special Considerations for Positioning 

Top Mount Control Models

The controls on these models are designed to be hidden by 
your countertop. Align the dishwasher as shown in Figure 
V. Leave a 1/2" minimum gap between the underside of the 
countertop and the top of the dishwasher door as shown in 
Figure W.

Use the leveling legs  to increase or decrease the amount of 
gap between the controls and the countertop.

For flush installations of the PDW9700 Series 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 with 
the kitchen cabinet panels.

IMPORTANT

 – Leave a 1/2" minimum gap between 

the controls and the underside of the countertop to prevent 

condensation and damage to the control panel from 

screwheads.
