ALLING THE DISHW
ASHER
STEP 8
LEVELING THE DISHWASHER
1.
Open the door and place the level against the top of the
tub on the inside and check if the the dishwasher is level.
If it is not level, rotate the leveling legs at the bottom front
of the dishwasher until the dishwasher is level.
See the fi rst note below for instructions on adusting the
height of the front legs.
2.
Use the level to check if the dishwasher is level front to
back, as shown in the fi gure to the right.
If the dishwasher is not level front to back, adjust the
height of the rear leg until the dishwasher is level.
See the second note below for instructions on adusting
the the rear leg.
3.
Open the door of the dishwasher and
check if both the tub and door clearances
are correct.
If not, rotate the leveling legs on the
bottom front of the dishwasher.
You can also check this by placing a level
against an inside front vertical surface of
the tub.
If the leveling legs are rotated to the right (counter
clockwise), they are loosened and the front of the
dishwasher is raised. If they are rotated to the left
(clockwise), they are tightened and the front of the
dishwasher is lowered.
To adjust the height of a rear leg, turn the Hexbolt (at
the front of the base) to the left to raise the back of the
dishwasher using the proper tool (Hex L-wrench or
similar tool).
Before you move the dishwasher for installation, make sure to adjust the height of the
legs so the legs are as short as possible. This prevents the legs from breaking. Level the
dishwasher by adjusting the height of the legs after you have the dishwasher in place.
The dishwasher can leak if it’s tilted by more than 1 degree.
