Determine Cabinet Opening Measure height of cabinet opening from underside of countertop to floor where dishwasher will be installed (you will need to measure the lowest point on the underside of the countertop and the highest point on the floor). Refer to "Dishwasher Height Adjustment Chart" for wheel position and the number of turns needed. NOTE: If the minimum cabinet opening height is less than 34" (86.4 cm), the rear wheels can be removed for additional clearance. This will allow the dishwasher to fit into a 33⁷⁄₂" (85.1 cm) high cabinet opening, but the dishwasher will be more difficult to move. Measurements are approximate. Wheels and legs are preset at the factory for 34¹⁄₂" (87.6 cm). Turn both leveler legs to the same height. Put wheels in the required position determined from "Dishwasher Height Adjustment Chart." Built-up floors: If the kitchen floor is higher than the cabinet opening's floor - for example, the kitchen floor tile does not extend into the cabinet opening - add shims as needed in the area shown to bring the dishwasher up to 34" (86.4 cm) below the countertop. NOTE: Shims must be securely attached to floor to avoid movement when the dishwasher is in use. 14

Determine Cabinet Opening
Measure height of cabinet opening from underside of countertop
to floor where dishwasher will be installed (you will need to
measure the lowest point on the underside of the countertop and
the highest point on the floor). Refer to “Dishwasher Height
Adjustment Chart” for wheel position and the number of turns
needed.
NOTE:
If the minimum cabinet opening height is less than 34"
(86.4 cm), the rear wheels can be removed for additional
clearance. This will allow the dishwasher to fit into a 33
⁷⁄₂
"
(85.1 cm) high cabinet opening, but the dishwasher will be more
difficult to move. Measurements are approximate. Wheels and
legs are preset at the factory for 34
¹⁄₂
" (87.6 cm).
Turn both leveler legs to the same height. Put wheels in the
required position determined from “Dishwasher Height
Adjustment Chart.”
Built-up floors: If the kitchen floor is higher than the cabinet
opening's floor - for example, the kitchen floor tile does not
extend into the cabinet opening - add shims as needed in the area
shown to bring the dishwasher up to 34" (86.4 cm) below the
countertop.
NOTE:
Shims must be securely attached to floor to avoid
movement when the dishwasher is in use.
