Installation Instructions STEP 12 LEVEL DISHWASHER IMPORTANT - Dishwasher must be level for proper dish rack operation and wash performance. • For PDW9200-PDW9900 Series: Make sure 1/2" minimum gap is maintained (see Figure X). • Place level on door to check that the dishwasher is level side- to-side. Place level on rack track inside tub to check that the dishwasher is level front-to-back.

STEP 13 SECURE DISHWASHER TO COUNTERTOP OR CABINET In this step you will need the 2 Phillips special head screws set aside prior to Step 1.

Protruding screw heads will scratch the top or sides of the control panel and can interfere with door closing. Figure BB Method 1 Secure dishwasher to wood countertop Fasten the dishwasher to the underside of the countertop with the 2 Phillips special head screws provided.
