STEP 7: SLIDE DISHWASHER INTO CABINET
y Before sliding the unit into place you will need to at-
tach the mounting brackets. See page 11 for mount-
ing bracket instructions.
y Before sliding the dishwasher into place, raise the
dishwasher by adjusting the front and rear legs of the
dishwasher to the approximate height of the opening.
Although you will need to make fine tune adjustments
after it is in place, this method will minimize those ad-
justments.
y Slide the dishwasher carefully into the cabinet open-
ing.
y
Make sure the drain hose inside the cabinet is not
kinked or pinched.
y Make sure the water supply line and electrical supply
are routed through the channels under the dishwash-
er as shown in Fig. 11.
y
To avoid kinked or pinched drain hose, be sure to pull
on the drain hose while you slide the dishwasher into
place, not allowing any slack behind the dishwasher.
