Maytag MDB6000AWA Installation - Manual (Page 2)

TIP: Pre-measure cabinet height to that of the dishwasher. Dishwasher should be 1/4" lower than that of the cabinet opening.
It's easier to adjust the dishwasher outside the cabinet than inside.
UNCRATING UNCRATING
Prepare cabinet as needed. Electrical and water facilities should enter cabinet opening on the floor, or through the back or side walls,
as shown in the shaded portion of the drawing. Preferred drain outlet is shown in the upper portion of the cabinet in drawing below.
Care should be taken to route plumbing away from the motor and blower (if equipped). DO NOT make connections until dishwasher
is in position. Care should be taken to make sure cabinet holes for power cord and hoses have no sharp edges.
