Dishwasher Installation
11
POSITION DISHWASHER,
SECURE TO
COUNTERTOP OR
CABINET
In this step you will need the 2 Phillips special head
screws from the screws set aside in Step 1.
The dishwasher must be secured to the countertop
or the cabinet sides. When the underside of the
countertop is wood, use Method 1. Use Method 2
when the underside of the countertop is made of a
material, such as granite, that will not accept wood
screws.
IMPORTANT – Prevent door panel and control
panel damage. Dishwasher must be positioned so
the front panel and control panel do not contact the
adjacent cabinets or countertop. Mounting screws
must be driven straight and flush. Protruding screw
heads could scratch the door panel or control panel
and interfere with door operation.
Method 1
Secure dishwasher to underside of wood countertop.
• Recheck alignment of the dishwasher in the cabinet.
Refer to Steps 13 and 14. Door panel and/or control
panel must not hit cabinets or countertop.
• Fasten the dishwasher to the underside of the
countertop with the 2 Phillips special head screws.
Refer to figure. Make certain screws are driven
straight and flush to prevent panel damage.
Method 2
Secure dishwasher to cabinet sides.
• Recheck alignment of the dishwasher in the cabinet.
Refer to Steps 13 and 14. Door panel and/or control
panel must not hit cabinets or countertop.
• Remove plug buttons. Do not discard.
• Fasten the dishwasher to the adjacent cabinets with
the 2 Phillips special head screws provided. Refer
to Figure X. Make certain screws are driven straight
and flush to prevent panel damage. Do not screw
into the cabinet face frame.
• Install plug buttons to the side of the tub in the holes
provided.

both the top and bottom of the cabinet opening, with no
