Determine Cabinet Opening

1 Measure cabinet opening

Measure height of cabinet opening from underside of countertop to floor where dishwasher will be installed (you will need to measure the lowest point on the underside of the countertop and the highest point on the floor). Refer to “Dishwasher Height Adjustment Chart” for wheel position and the number of turns needed.

Dishwasher Height Adjustment Chart

NOTE: If the minimum cabinet opening height is less than 34" (86.4 cm), the rear wheels can be removed for additional clearance. This will allow the dishwasher to fit into a 33⁄" (86 cm) high cabinet opening, but the dishwasher will be more

difficult to move. (Measurements are approximate. Wheels and legs are preset at the factory for 34¹⁄" [87.6" cm].)

2 Adjust wheels and legs

3 2 1

Turn both leveler legs to the same height. Put wheels in the required position determined from “Dishwasher Height Adjustment Chart.” (To change wheel position, use a flat-blade screwdriver to pop out the wheel, then snap into the new position.)
