Step 9: Position the dishwasher under the countertop
1
Make sure that the wires are secure under the dishwasher and not pinched or in contact with door springs or other
dishwasher components.
2
Push the dishwasher into the cabinet. The front corners of the dishwasher door should be flush with the cabinet doors.
Be careful not to dent the front panel with your knees or damage the countertop or cabinets with dishwasher parts.
Step 10: Level the dishwasher
1
Open the door, then place a level on the door and on the rack track inside the tub to make sure that the dishwasher is
level.
2
Level the dishwasher by adjusting the four leveling legs individually.
Tip:
Check tub insulation blanket, if equipped. It should be positioned so it is not bunched up or interfering with door springs. Check
by opening and closing the door.
Note:
You will not have access to the back leveling legs once the dishwasher is put in place.
IMPORTANT:
T
he dishwasher must be level for proper dish rack operation and wash performance.
Tip:
Pull the lower rack out about halfway. Make sure that the rack does not roll forward or back into the dishwasher. If the rack rolls in
either direction, you must level the dishwasher again.
Note:
You may need to pull your dishwasher out of the cabinet if major adjustments to the four leveling legs are required.
Do not push against the
front door panel with your
knees. You will damage
the front panel.
Reposition the dishwasher
by grasping both sides with
your hands.
Check side-to-side level
Check front-to-back level
