IMPORTANT: If wheels were removed, cover the floor when
moving the dishwasher to avoid damage to the floor. Slowly
move dishwasher completely into cabinet opening. Do not kink or
pinch water line, drain hose, power supply cord or direct wire
between dishwasher and cabinet. Remove cardboard from under
dishwasher.
NOTE: It is all right if dishwasher fits tightly into cabinet opening.
Do not remove insulation blanket – the blanket reduces the
sound level.
NOTE: If using power cord, make sure to route end through hole
in cutout before sliding into cabinet opening.
Align front of dishwasher door panel with front of cabinet doors.
You may need to adjust alignment to be even with your
cabinets.

Check for plumb and
adjust legs if needed
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 the ³⁄₁₆" hex head
socket or adjustable wrench.
