STEP 11 LEVEL DISHWASHER
IMPORTANT
–
Dishwasher must
be level for proper dish rack operation and wash
performance.
TIP: Pull lower rack out, about halfway. Check to
be sure the rack does not roll forward or back into
dishwasher. If the rack rolls in either direction, the
dishwasher must be leveled again.
• If door hits the tub, the dishwasher is not installed
correctly. Adjust leveling legs to align door to tub.
• Level the dishwasher
by adjusting the
four leveling legs
individually.
• If adjustment to the
right rear leveling leg
is required, gain
access by loosening
junction box bracket
screw (through the
access hole) and
rotate bracket clock-
wise.
