37. Check for plumb and adjust legs if
needed
■ Check that leveling legs are rmly against the oor. 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.
■ With dishwasher plum check that racks do not roll out on their
own when you open the door. Adjust front level legs until racks
no longer roll unless you pull them.
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 a 7 mm hex head socket
or adjustable wrench. If the gap between the top of the door and
the underside of the counter top is tight (less than 1/4" [6 mm]),
we suggest side anchoring to keep from scratching the User
Interface or console.
Level front legs
38. Check level side to side and adjust
legs if needed
Place level against top front opening of tub. Check that
dishwasher is level from side to side. If dishwasher is not level,
adjust front legs up or down until dishwasher is level.
SECURE DISHWASHER IN CABINET
OPENING
39. Double-check dishwasher alignment
in cabinet opening
Check that dishwasher is still level front to back and side-to-side
in the cabinet opening.
Open dishwasher door and place towel over pump assembly and
spray arm of dishwasher. This will keep screws from falling into
pump area when you are securing dishwasher to cabinet.
Open dishwasher door to prepare for securing the dishwasher
to the countertop or side cabinet.
NOTES:
■ The dishwasher must be secured to keep it from shifting when
the door is opened or closed.
■ Do not drop screws into bottom of dishwasher.
■ Locate brackets installed in the “Choose Anchor Attachment
Method” section, either on top or on the sides of the dishwasher.
■ If countertop anchoring: Secure dishwasher to the countertop
with two Phillips-head screws (included).
■ If side anchoring: Drill 7/32" pilot holes in cabinet to avoid
splitting the wood. Secure dishwasher to cabinet with two
Philips-head screws (included). Remove second rack for
easier access. See the Dishwasher Loading Tips section for
instructions on how to remove the second rack if needed.
