Custom Panel Installation
(Custom Panel models only)
For custom panel installation, refer to the Custom Panel
Installation Instruction Sheet (Part Number W10750117A).
Complete custom panel installation before proceeding to the
“Choose Attachment Option” section.
Choose Attachment Option
IMPORTANT: The dishwasher must be secured to the cabinet as
one of the final steps. Prepare the dishwasher for this by attaching
the two brackets found in the parts bag to the dishwasher.
For countertops that are wood, laminate, or another similar
surface, use Option A.
For countertops that are marble, granite, or another hard surface,
use Option B.
Option A, Countertop Attachment
Remove the brackets from the package and insert into the open
slots on the left-hand and right-hand top of the dishwasher collar,
as shown.
Using a pair of pliers, bend the tab down to secure the bracket in
place. Repeat this step for the other side.
NOTE: Do not attach the dishwasher. This will be done later.
Option B, Dishwasher Side Attachment
NOTE: Remove the brackets from the parts package.
Break off the end of the bracket along the scored line.
With another person holding the rear of the dishwasher to keep it
from tipping, open dishwasher door and place towel over pump
assembly and spray arm of dishwasher. This will keep screws
from falling into pump area when you are securing dishwasher to
cabinet.
Push the plastic buttons out of the side of the tub.
NOTE: Save the buttons to cover the holes after dishwasher is
installed.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
