Secure dishwasher in cabinet opening
1. If you have not already done so, open dishwasher door and place
towel over pump assembly and spray arm of dishwasher. This will
keep screws from falling into pump area when securing dishwasher
to countertop.
2. Check that dishwasher is still level and centered side to side in the
opening.
3. Secure dishwasher to countertop or sides of cabinet with two,
#10 x 1/2” Phillips-head screws. The dishwasher must be secured to
keep it from tipping when door is opened. Do not drop screws into
bottom of dishwasher.
4. Open door about 3 inches (7.6 cm) and check that space between
inner door and tub is equal on both sides. If spacing is not equal,
loosen bracket screws and shift tub. Tighten bracket screws.
5. If using a countertop attachment to secure dishwasher, check that
top of door does not contact screws, brackets, or countertop. if it
does, dishwasher must be lowered and re-leveled.
6. If securing with a side attachment, check that sides of door do
not rub against the screw heads. If they do, dishwasher must be
re-centered. When dishwasher is properly centered, replace plastic
buttons.
7. Remove towel from dishwasher.
8. Reinstall the lower dishrack.
Bottom sound pad installation
1. Remove the bottom sound pad from inside the dishwasher and
take it out of the plastic bag.
2. Place pad on the floor in front of the dishwasher, making sure
lettering is facing up and vinyl pad faces down.
3. Fold up and hold the side panels down. Carefully slide the pad
toward the back of the dishwasher as far as it will go, making sure
not to push or pull any wires or hoses. (Do not force.) Side panels
will open to proper position.
NOTE: If there are pipes or other obstructions coming up
through the floor, you will need to cut a slit in the pad to fit around
the obstacle.
4. Fold the front end of the pad up into position. Make sure the
vinyl pad is tucked up behind the door and the dishwasher front
legs, as shown.
Complete installation
1. Check that grounding clip is attached to the lower panel.
2. Place the lower panel behind the access panel. Some models have
insulation on the access panel which must fall behind the insulation
on the lower panel.
3. Hold the two panels together and push them up against
dishwasher leg and vinyl pad.
4. Reinstall the screws through the holes in the access panel and the
slots in the lower panel. Install right side screw first.
