1. Make sure to mount the screws with the mounting brackets to the
countertop or cabinet sides using a screwdriver.
2. Confirm the dishwasher is stable and not rocking.
3. Confirm the top of the dishwasher is flush under the countertop.
4. Open and close the door to ensure it moves smoothly and does not rub
the cabinet.
5. Turn ON the water supply valve and restore power to the dishwasher.
6. Run a short cycle (such as the Rinse cycle) and check for leaks under and
around the dishwasher while it runs and drains. Keep the kick plate off
during this test to inspect for any water leaks.
7. After confirming there are no leaks, reinstall the Kick Plate using the
screws removed earlier.
