Do not press on the center of panel with hands or knees when sliding dishwasher into position.

STEP 12

IMPORTANT – Dishwasher must be level for proper

dish rack operation, wash performance and door operation. The dishwasher must be leveled left to right and front to back. This ensures the dish racks will not roll in or out on their own, circulation water will flow to the pump inlet, and the door will close without hitting the side of the tub.

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

Check Level

Front to Back

•

Adjust the level of the dishwasher by individually turning the 4 legs on the bottom of the dishwasher as shown. Ensure all 4 legs are firmly in contact with the floor.

• 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.

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.
