STEP 12: PUSH DISHWASHER INTO
FINAL POSITION
•
Check the tub insulation blanket, if equipped, to be sure it is
smoothly wrapped around the tub. It should not be “bunched
up” and it must not interfere with the door springs. If the
insulation is “bunched up” or interfering with the springs,
straighten and recenter the blanket prior to sliding the
dishwasher into its final position.
• Slide the dishwasher into the final position by pushing on
the sides of the door panel. Do not push or pull the door
in a partially open or closed position when moving the
dishwasher. Do not use a knee or push on the center of the
panel. If you do, damage to the panel will likely result.
• The dishwasher is in the final position when the edges of

dishwasher is centered in the cabinet opening. Check that
the dishwasher is squarely positioned in the cabinet opening
at both the top and the bottom of the appliance prior to
mounting to the cabinet.
IMPORTANT
–
Before opening the dishwasher door,
be certain the edges of the dishwasher door panel are behind

face. Refer to Figure Q. If the dishwasher door is opened
when the edge of the door is against the face of the cabinet,
dishwasher door damage and cabinet damage will occur.

Tip: Prevent unnecessary service charges for panel damage
or wash performance.
Check dishwasher alignment prior to opening dishwasher door
to prevent panel damage.
Make sure utility lines are not trapped or crushed behind
dishwasher. Crushed lines will restrict water flow.
