FINAL POSITION

• Check the tub insulation blanket, if equipped, to be sure it is

smoothly wrapped around the tub. It should not be “bunched up” and it must not interfere with the door springs. If the insulation is “bunched up” or interfering with the springs, straighten and re center the blanket prior to sliding the dishwasher into its final position.

• Slide the dishwasher into the final position by pushing on the sides of the door panel. Do not use a knee or push on the center of the panel. If you do, damage to the panel will likely result.

IMPORTANT – Before opening the dishwasher

door, be certain the edges of the dishwasher door panel are behind the face of the adjacent cabinet and not up against the cabinet face. Refer to Figure U. If the dishwasher door is opened when the edge of the door is against the face of the cabinet, dishwasher door damage and cabinet damage will occur.

• Open and close the dishwasher door to be sure it operates smoothly, and does not rub on the adjacent cabinet.

/(9(/',6+:$6+(5

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 V.

• 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 bolts and wheels. Individually turn the 2 bolts to adjust the rear wheels. Slowly rotate the 2 bolts counter clockwise to raise the dishwasher, and clockwise to lower it. Continue to adjust the feet and wheels until the dishwasher is level as illustrated in Figure W.

• 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.

Attachment

Screws

• Align the toekick with the bottom edge and make sure it is against the floor.

• Insert and tighten the 2 toekick attachment screws. The toekick should stay in contact with the floor.

• When reinstalling the toe kick on models with a sound barrier, ensure that the bottom edge of the rubberized flap is flush with the floor. Any excess material should be tucked up behind the outer door. Do not allow excess rubberized flap to lay on the floor. If any excess is not tucked completely behind the outer door, it will bunch up between the door and toe kick and impede proper opening and closing of the door. This will be noticeable because the door will not stay fully open and will spring up.

Tip: Reduce sound from under the dishwasher. Make sure toekick is against floor.
