Dishwasher Installation

STEP 10: SLIDE DISHWASHER THREE-FOURTHS

OF THE WAY INTO CABINET

IMPORTANT – Do not push against front panel with

knees. Damage will occur.

• Grasp the sides of the

front panel and slide

dishwasher into the

opening a few inches

at a time.

• As you proceed, pull the drain hose through the opening under the

sink. Stop pushing when the dishwasher extends about 6 inches

• Make sure drain hose is not kinked under or behind the dishwasher.

• Make certain the house wiring, drain line and water line do not

interfere with components under dishwasher.

STEP 11: INSTALL TRIM PIECES

In this step you will need the trim pieces set aside in Step 1.

STEP 12: INSTALL MOUNTING BRACKETS

You will need the mounting brackets and 2 #8 hex-head screws set

aside in Step 1.

You must install the mounting brackets onto the dishwasher tub

frame top or sides prior to sliding the dishwasher into place under

the countertop. This dishwasher is capable of a true-flush installation

at a 24” deep opening. The mounting brackets have several

available attachment positions to accommodate different cabinet

constructions.

Install mounting brackets on top if the underside of

countertop is wood or wood-like material that accepts screws:

IMPORTANT - After installing brackets and before

them up as needed, so that they do not contact the top of the

dishwasher door and cause damage.

• If you are installing the dishwasher under a counter with a short

overhang, the countertop brackets may extend beyond the edge

of the counter. If this is the case, remove the excess length by

repeatedly bending the brackets at the front notch only until they

break.

Install mounting brackets on sides if the countertop is

granite or similar material that will not accept wood screws:
