STEP 11 LEVEL DISHWASHER
IMPORTANT
– Dishwasher must be level
for proper dish rack operation and wash performance.
• Place level on door and rack track as shown. Check to
make sure that the dishwasher is level.
• Level the dishwasher by adjusting the four leveling
legs individually.
• If adjustment to the right rear leveling leg is re-
quired, loosen junction box bracket screw (through
the access hole) and rotate bracket clockwise.
Tip:
Pull lower rack out, about halfway. Check to be
sure the rack does not roll forward or back into
dishwasher. If the rack rolls in either direction, the
dishwasher must be leveled again.
• If door hits tub, the dishwasher is not installed
correctly. Adjust leveling legs to align door to tub.

STEP 10 PUSH DISHWASHER
INTO FINAL POSITION
Tip:
Check tub insulation blanket, if equipped. It
should be positioned so it is not “bunched up” or
interfering with door springs. Check by opening and
closing door.
• Push dishwasher into the cabinet. The edges of the
dishwasher door should be behind the cabinet
frame and evenly aligned with the front face of
cabinet doors.
• Carefully open and close the door to ensure the
door panel is not catching or rubbing on the
cabinet frame.
