• Grasp the sides of the front panel and slide dishwasher into
the opening a few inches at a time.

under the sink. Stop pushing when the dishwasher extends
about 6 inches forward of adjacent cabinets.

STEP 12: INSTALL MOUNTING BRACKETS
You will need the mounting brackets and 2 #8 hex-head screws
set aside in Step 1.
You must install the mounting brackets onto the dishwasher
tub frame top or sides prior to sliding the dishwasher into place
under the countertop.
Install mounting brackets on top if the underside of
countertop is wood or wood-like material that accepts screws:
IMPORTANT -
After installing brackets and before
closing the dishwasher door, adjust the brackets by bending
them up as needed, so that they do not contact the top of the
dishwasher door and cause damage.

• If you are installing the dishwasher under a counter with a
short overhang, the countertop brackets may extend beyond
the edge of the counter. If this is the case, remove the excess
length by repeatedly bending the brackets at the front notch
only until they break.
Install mounting brackets on sides if the countertop is
granite or similar material that will not accept wood screws:
