Dishwasher Installation STEP 9: SLIDE DISHWASHER THREE-FOURTHS OF THE WAY INTO CABINET IMPORTANT - Do not push against front panel with knees. Damage will occur. • Grasp the sides of the front panel and slide dishwasher into the opening a few inches at a time. STEP 11: 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.
