Check location where dishwasher will be installed. The location
must provide;

• easy access to water, electricity and drain.

• convenient access for loading and unloading dishes.

Corner locations require a 2" (5.1 cm) minimum clearance

between the side of the dishwasher door and the wall or

cabinet.

• square opening for proper operation and appearance.

• cabinet front perpendicular to floor.

• level floor. If floor at front of opening is not level with floor

at rear of opening, shims may be needed to level
dishwasher.

Helpful Tip: Be sure to accurately measure dimensions and
ensure dishwasher is level if the floor in the dishwasher opening is

uneven (example: Flooring extends only partway into opening).
NOTE: To avoid shifting during dishwasher operation, shims must

be securely attached to the floor.
If dishwasher will be left unused for a period of time or in a

location where it may be subject to freezing, have it winterized by
authorized service personnel.

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.
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 and perforated section
of the insulation blanket to fit into a 331/2'' (85.1 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."
