4. Check that water line is on the left side of opening and
drain hose is near the center of the hole in the cabinet.
5. Slowly move dishwasher
completely into cabinet opening.
Do not kink or pinch copper
tubing, drain hose, power supply
cord or direct wire between
dishwasher and cabinet.
Helpful Tip: Once the dishwasher
is in position, you may have to
support the front of the
dishwasher by raising, lowering or shimming front feet.
6. Remove cardboard from under dishwasher.
NOTE: It is all right if dishwasher fits tightly into cabinet
opening. Do not remove insulation blanket —the blanket
reduces the sound level.
Level the dishwasher
1. Align front of dishwasher door panel with cabinet doors.
You may need to adjust alignment to be even with your
cabinets.
Helpful Tip: Prop up one side of frame to hold
dishwasher up off floor when adjusting front legs.
2. Check that leveling legs are firmly against the floor.

Check door spring tension
1. With another person holding the dishwasher to prevent
it from tipping, open and close the door a few times. If
the door closes or falls open under its own weight, the
door tension will need to be adjusted.
2. To adjust the door spring tension, unhook the spring
from the rear leg of dishwasher.
3. With a 5/16" nut driver or hex socket, remove the screw
from the tensioner.
4. The screw can be put into one of three holes Ẅ, ẅ, Ẇ in
the front leg of dishwasher. If the door closes by itself,
move the tensioner to a higher number hole and replace
screw. When door is unlatched, if it opens by itself, move
tensioner to a lower numbered hole and replace screw.
5. Re-attach door spring to rear leg. Tensioners on both
sides of dishwasher should be secured at same holes.
Move dishwasher into cabinet opening
1. Grasp the sides of the dishwasher at the edges of the
door panel.
2. Tilt dishwasher backwards on wheels and move
dishwasher close to cabinet opening. Do not push on the
front of the panel or on the console—they may dent.
3. If dishwasher has a power supply cord, insert power
supply cord into hole cut into cabinet.
If using direct wire, check that it is on the right front side
of opening.
