2. Installing the dishwasher
under the countertop
For ease of service and quick
disconnection, it is best to install the
machine so that the water and
electricity supplies can be accessed
through an adjacent cabinet, rather
than situating them behind the
machine.
If the electrical and water supplies are
located behind the machine the
dishwasher will have to be removed
from the cabinet for service. See the
"Plumbing" and "Electrical" sections for
proper connection procedures before
continuing. If electrical and water
supplies are not located in adjacent
cabinetry it is extremly important that
the toekick is removable.
,
There must be no electrical
outlet behind the dishwasher. Risk of
overheating and fire if the
dishwasher were to be pushed up
against a plug.
Installing the slides
Two slides are included and should be
installed on the feet of the dishwasher
before the machine is pushed under
the countertop. This will allow the
machine to slide easier, protect the
floor, and allow adjustment of the rear
leveling legs from the front of the
machine.
^
Adjust the height of the legs so that
the top of the dishwasher is roughly
1/4" (5 mm) below the countertop.
Tipping the machine slightly to the rear,
if possible, will make adjusting the front
legs easier. Make sure the machine is
level when adjustments are complete.
^
Place the slides, with the ratchet at
the rear, under the dishwasher legs.
