CORNER INSTALLATION

If the dishwasher is installed in a corner, there must be a mini-

mum clearance of 2” (50 mm) from the side wall so the door

can open.

2” clearance

At this point the styrofoam, plastic wrap, and the wood pallet

(base) should be removed from the dishwasher. Now is an

excellent time to inspect for any shipping damage. Should you

find any damage, you should report it to your dealer or builder

immediately.

Be sure to remove the toe kick and toe kick insulation (only on

certain models) from the top of the dishwasher.

SLIDES FOR LEGS

The unit comes with white plastic slides for

the legs to protect the kitchen floor from being

damaged when you slide the unit into place.

The slides simply snap onto the bottom of the

legs.

bottom of the legs.

PREPARING THE DISHWASHER FOR INSTALLATION

ADJUSTING THE DOOR SPRINGS

Before you install the unit into the cabinet, open the door

to make sure it stays open at any

angle. If it tends to fall down or

snap shut, pull out the machine and

tension the door springs on the sides

of the machine by moving them

one hole farther back or by twisting

the spring to make it shorter. The

accessory door panel or custom

wood panel must be installed on FI

dishwashers to properly adjust tension on the door springs. If

that doesn’t resolve the problem, you may need to purchase

the heavy-duty door springs (part number WD01X10445).
NOTE:
If the door panel weighs more than 15 pounds, you may need
to order the heavy-duty door springs. (See page 5.)
