SECURE DISHWASHER
IN CABINET OPENING
Check that dishwasher is still level front to back and side-to-side
in the cabinet opening.
Open dishwasher door and place towel over pump assembly
and spray arm of dishwasher. This will keep screws from falling
into pump area when you are securing dishwasher to cabinet.
Open dishwasher door to prepare for securing the dishwasher
to the countertop or side cabinet.
NOTES:
■
The dishwasher must be secured to keep it from shifting
when the door is opened or closed.
■
Do not drop screws into bottom of dishwasher.
■
Locate brackets installed in the “Choose Anchor Attachment
Method” section, either on top or on the sides of the
dishwasher.
■
If countertop anchoring:
Secure dishwasher to the
countertop with two #10 x

Check that leveling legs are firmly against the floor. Close and
latch the door and place level against the front panel. Check
that dishwasher is centered from front to back in the opening.
If needed, adjust leveling leg until dishwasher is plumb. Repeat
for other side of dishwasher.
Helpful Tip:
Push up on front of dishwasher to raise dishwasher
off the ground to adjust front legs. With some installations, it
may be easier to adjust the front leg using a

head socket or adjustable wrench. If the gap between the top
of the door and the underside of the counter top is tight (less
than 1/4" [6 mm]), we suggest side anchoring to keep from
scratching the User Interface or console.
Place level against top front opening of tub. Check that
dishwasher is level from side to side. If dishwasher is not
level, adjust front legs up or down until dishwasher is level.
