• Remove the lower dish rack and place a level on the door and lower rack track as shown in Figure V.

• If your model has rear wheels, the height of the

wheels are adjusted from the front of the dishwasher along with the 2 front legs on the bottom of the dishwasher. Begin the leveling process with the front legs by individually turning the front 2 legs. By adjusting the front legs first,access to the rear leveling bolts is maximized easing rear wheel adjustment. When the front legs are adjusted to a height resulting in an appropriate gap to the upper cabinet, proceed to adjust the rear leveling wheels by adjusting the leveling bolts as illustrated in Figure W. Individually turn the 2 bolts to adjust the rear wheels. Slowly rotate the 2 bolts

counter clockwise to raise the back of the dishwasher, and clockwise to lower it. Continue to adjust the feet and wheels

until the dishwasher is level as illustrated in Figure W. Ensure all 4 legs/wheels are firmly in contact with the floor.

• If your model has

4 leveling feet,

adjust the level of the dishwasher by individually turning the 4 legs on the bottom of the dishwasher as shown in Figure WW.

• The dishwasher is properly leveled when the level indicator is centered left to right and front to back. Also, the dishwasher door should close without hitting the side of the tub.

• Replace the lower rack.

• Pull each rack out, about halfway. Check to be sure it does not roll back or forward on the door. If the rack moves, adjust leveling legs.

Tip: Prevent unnecessary service charges. Verify dishwasher is leveled.

Pull the dish racks half way out. They should stay put. Open and close the door. The door should fit in the tub opening without hitting the side of the tub. If the racks roll on their own, or the door hits the side of tub, re-level the dishwasher.
