Dishwasher Installation

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.
Tip: Prevent unnecessary service charges for panel
damage or wash performance.
Check dishwasher alignment prior to opening dishwasher door
to prevent panel damage.
Make sure utility lines are not trapped or crushed behind
dishwasher. Crushed lines will restrict water flow.

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.
