STEP 11 POSITION DISHWASHER UNDER
COUNTERTOP
• Push the dishwasher into the cabinet.
• Push the sides with your hands. Do not use your knee against
the door since door damage will occur.
• Check that the tub insulation blanket does not get
“bunched-up” or interfere with the springs as you slide it
into the cabinet.
• Center the dishwasher in the opening.
• Front of door panel should be flush with face of cabinet.
• Carefully open and close the door to ensure that the door
panel does not catch or rub on the cabinet frame.
• If the door catches or rubs on the frame, reposition and/or
level the unit (see Step 12) until the door moves freely and
does not contact the cabinet frame.
Positioning for PDW9200-PDW9900 Series
The controls on these models are designed to be hidden by
your countertop. Align the dishwasher as shown in Figure
U. Leave a 1/2" minimum gap between the underside of the
countertop and the top of the dishwasher door as shown in
Figure X.
Note:
For flush installations of the PDW9700 Series models,
cut off the back panel of the tub insulation blanket so that the
dishwasher door panel can be aligned with the kitchen cabinet
panels.
Note:
If the drain hose gets trapped behind the unit it can
prevent the controls from being hidden by the countertop.
Note:
If this dishwasher is replacing an existing dishwasher, the
old countertop bracket screw holes may not be in the correct
position to accept a top-control model. New holes may be
required.
Tip:
The leveling legs can be used to increase or decrease
the amount of gap between the controls and the countertop
affecting the visibility of the controls.
IMPORTANT
– Leave a 1/2" minimum gap between
the controls and the underside of the countertop to prevent
condensation and damage to the control panel from
screwheads.
