Determine 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.
Built-up floors: If the kitchen floor is higher than the cabinet
opening's floor - for example, the kitchen floor tile does not
extend into the cabinet opening - add shims as needed in the area
shown to bring the dishwasher up to 34" (86.4 cm) below the
countertop.
NOTE: Shims must be securely attached to floor to avoid
movement when the dishwasher is in use.
Install Door Handle (on some models)
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 33⁷⁄₈" (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 34¹⁄₂" [87.6 cm].)
Turn both leveler legs to the same height. Put wheels in the
required position determined from “Dishwasher Height
Adjustment Chart.”
IMPORTANT: Do not scratch the front panel during this
procedure.
Remove the door handle and hardware bag containing the
setscrews and hex key from the cardboard box. Setscrews are
already installed in the handle. Place handle on mounting studs
with the setscrews facing down. Push the door handle tightly
against the door. Insert the short end of the hex key into the
setscrews. Tighten the setscrews ¹⁄₄ turn past snug.
Retain hex key with Installation Instructions.
