INSTALLATION
Step 9: Securing the Dishwasher
• You must secure the dishwasher to the countertop or cabinet side walls for additional
stability.
• If the countertop is made of wood or a material that will not be damaged by drilling,
follow the instructions in Option 1 below.
• If the countertop is made of granite, marble, or any other material that can be
damaged by drilling, follow the instructions in Option 2 below.
Thoroughly clean the underside of the countertop where the
dishwasher will go. Measure and cut the condensation strip to
match the opening. Attach the condensation strip to the underside
of the counter, close the front edge. This disperses the steam away
from the edge of the dishwasher.
1. Put a large towel into the bottom of the dishwasher to prevent wood shavings or a
dropped screw from falling into the dishwasher. Carefully drill screw holes into the
countertop bottom by passing the drill bit through a screw hole in each bracket,
and then drilling into the countertop bottom beneath. Make sure the hole you drill
is smaller than the diameter of the screw. Next, put the installation bracket into the
slot of the side frame and tighten to the dishwasher with screw ST3.5*9. Then, insert
the provided screws into the brackets and tighten to secure the dishwasher to the
countertop. See Figure 8 on the next page.
2. Put a large towel into the bottom of the dishwasher to prevent wood shavings or a
dropped screw from falling into the dishwasher. Remove the adjustment cap with the
tip of a screwdriver. The caps are just inside the tub near the middle an both sides (see
Figure 9 on the next page). Carefully drill a hole into the sides of the kitchen cabinet
on both sides through the screw holes exposed by the removal of the caps, and then
drilling into the cabinet side beneath. Make sure the hole you drill is smaller than
the diameter of the screw. Also make sure the drill bit does not strike the sides of the
spacer cap holes.
