STEP 15: POSITION DISHWASHER, SECURE

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

flush. Protruding screw heads could scratch the door panel or

control panel and interfere with door operation.
