Choose Anchor Attachment Method
IMPORTANT:
The dishwasher must be secured to the cabinet as
one of the final steps. Prepare the dishwasher for this by attaching
the 2 brackets found in the parts bag to the dishwasher.
– For countertops that are wood, laminate, or another similar
surface, use Countertop Attachment: go to step 36
– For countertops that are marble, granite, or another hard
surface, use Side Attachment: go to step 37
NOTE:
If the gap between the top of the door and the underside of
the countertop is tight (less than 1/4" [6.35 mm]), we suggest
using Side Attachment to keep from scratching the User Interface
or console with the anchor screws.
Countertop Attachment:
36. Insert bracket
Remove the brackets from the package and insert into the
open slots on the left- and right-hand top of the dishwasher
collar as shown. Go to step 41.
Bend tab
Using pliers, bend/twist tab to lock the brackets in place.
Side Attachment:
37. Break end of bracket
Break off the end of the bracket along the scored line using
pliers.
38. Install bracket
Push bracket into slot on the side of dishwasher and bend
tab in toward the side of the dishwasher so that it keeps the
bracket in place. Repeat this step for the other side of the
dishwasher.
NOTE:
Install wood shims to the inside of the cabinets if the
gap between the sides of the cabinet and the sides of the
dishwasher are greater than 1/2" (13 mm) on each side.
NOTE:
Do not attach the dishwasher. This will be done later.
Final Installation Check
39. Open and close door
40. Closes too quickly – decrease spring tension
If the door closes too quickly, decrease the spring tension by
moving the spring end toward the front of the dishwasher.
NOTE:
Springs should be in the same notches on left and
right sides.
