Dishwasher Installation
STEP 3 REMOVE WOOD BASE,
INSTALL LEVELING LEGS
IMPORTANT –
Do not kick off wood base!
Damage will occur.
• Move the dishwasher close to the installation location
and lay it on its back.
NOTE:
Do not place the dishwasher
on its side.
• Remove the 4 leveling legs on the underside of the
wood base with a 15/16” socket wrench.
• Discard base and 2 leveling legs.
• Screw front 2 leveling legs back into the dishwasher
frame, approximately 1/2” from frame as shown.

The dishwasher has rear adjustable leveling
wheels, and will not require the 2 rear leveling legs.
STEP 2
CHECK DOOR BALANCE
NOTE:
If installing a
Custom Door Panel
(available on some
models), please follow
the instructions found in
the Custom Door Panel
kit.
• With dishwasher on
the wood base, check
the door balance by
opening and closing
the door.
• Door is properly
balanced if, when opened, it self closes within 20° from
vertical, stays in position from 20° to 70° and falls fully
open beyond 70°.
• If necessary increase or decrease tension as shown.
Some models will have 2 springs on one side and 1
spring on the other side. Latch door and adjust springs
to correct balance.
Tip: Make sure door opens and closes smoothly.
Check door opening and closing. If door does not open
easily or falls too quickly, check spring cable routing. The
cable is held in place by “shoulders” on the pulley. Check
to be sure cable has not slipped over the pulley shoulders
and is routed as shown.
