Step 9: Securing the Dishwasher
You must fix the dishwasher to the countertop or cabinet side walls for additional
stability.
If the countertop is made of wood or the material will not be damaged by drilling,
follow the instructions in 1 below.
If the countertop is made of granite, marble, or any other material that can be
damaged by drilling, follow the Instructions in 2 below.
1. Put a large towel into the bottom of the dishwasher to prevent wood shavings or a
dropped screw from falling into the dishwasher.
Carefully drill screw holes into the counter top bottom by passing the drill bit through
a screw hole in each bracket, and then drilling into the counter top bottom beneath.
Make sure the hole you drill is smaller than the diameter of the screw.
Firstly, put the installation bracket into the slot of the side plane and tighten to the
dishwasher with screw ST3.5*9. Secondly, insert the provided screws into the
brackets, and then tighten to secure the dishwasher to the counter top.
2. Put a large towel into the bottom of the dishwasher to prevent wood shavings or a
dropped screw from falling into the dishwasher. Remove the adjustment cap with the
tip of a screwdriver. The caps are just inside the tub near the middle of the tub an both
sides(Figure 9 on the next page).
Drill a hole into the sides of the kitchen cabinet on both sides by carefully passing a
drill bit through the screw holes exposed by the removal of the spacer caps, and then
drilling into the cabinet side beneath.
Make sure the hole you drill is smaller than the diameter of the screw.
Also make sure the drill bit does not strike the sides of the spacer cap holes. Firstly, put
the installation bracket into the slot of the side plane and tighten to the dishwasher
with screw ST3.5*9. Secondly, insert the provided screws into the holes, and then
tighten to secure the dishwasher to the cabinet. Make sure the tub is not distorted by
pressure from the screws.
If the tub is distorted, loosen the screws a little.
Replace the tub spacer caps.
