Straighten the hot water supply line and the elec-
trical cable so that it can be easily pulled through
the channel under the dishwasher. See Figure 10.

Guide the drain hose carefully as the dishwasher
is slid into the cabinet opening so that there are
no kinks in the hose once the dishwasher is in
place.
Figure 9.
Inspecting the Dishwasher
After unpacking the dishwasher and prior to installation
thoroughly inspect the dishwasher for possible freight
or cosmetic damage. Report any damage immediately.
Cosmetic damage must be reported within 5 days of
installation.
Placing the Dishwasher
The profile strips on the sides of the dishwasher allow
the dishwasher to fit into a cabinet opening with a width
of 23-5/8” (600 mm) to 24” (610 mm). Before sliding
the dishwasher into the cabinet opening:
1.
Determine how the mounting brackets will be
placed. The brackets may be placed so as to fas-
ten to the underside of the counter top, in Figure
8, or, the brackets may be bent and set to fasten
to the side of the cabinet opening as, Figure 9.
The dishwasher should be mounted to the side
of the cabinet if there is a granite, marble or other
hard natural surface counter top that could be
damaged by drilling. Once decided, set the mount-
ing brackets before sliding the dishwasher into
place, see Figure 10.
Once slid into place make final leveling adjustments as
shown in Figure 11. Then to maintain the dishwasher
position and alignment, drive 2 wood screws through
the holes in the mounting flanges that had been placed
at each of the front corners, as shown in Figures 8 and
9.
Once the dishwasher has been leveled and secured in
place proceed to the connection of the drain hose, hot
water supply line and electrical connections as described
in the following sections. Be sure to follow your national
and local codes at all times.
IMPORTANT
If you wish to change the front panel of the dishwasher
this must be done before sliding the dishwasher into
place. See section in this manual titled Accessory Panel
Installation DW24 Nonintegrated Models
4.
All necessary final leveling and alignment
adjustments can be made after sliding the
dishwasher into the cabinet opening. It is however
recommended that the adjustments be made
before sliding the dishwasher into opening and
then any final fine adjustments made after the
dishwasher is in place.
Mounting bracket for under the
counter
If the hole is cut in a metal cabinet, the edge of the hole
must be covered by a grommet. Run flexible, as codes
permit, cable from junction through hole in cabinet.
Cable should extend 30” from back wall.
