Dishwasher Installation STEP 12: P USH DISHWASHER INTO FINAL POSITION • Check the tub insulation blanket, if equipped, to be sure it is smoothly wrapped around the tub. It should not be "bunched up" and it must not interfere with the door springs. If the insulation is "bunched up" or interfering with the springs, straighten and recenter the blanket prior to sliding the dishwasher into its final position. • Slide the dishwasher into the final position by pushing on the sides of the door panel. Do not use a knee or push on the center of the panel. If you do, damage to the panel will likely result . • The dishwasher is in the final position when the edges of the front panel are flush with the adjacent cabinets and the dishwasher is centered in the cabinet opening. IMPORTANT - Before opening the dishwasher door, be certain the edges of the dishwasher door panel are behind the face of the adjacent cabinet and not up against the cabinet face. Refer to Figure Q. If the dishwasher door is opened when the edge of the door is against the face of the cabinet, dishwasher door damage and cabinet damage will occur. STEP 13: LEVEL DISHWASHER IMPORTANT - Dishwasher must be level for proper dish rack operation, wash performance and door operation. The dishwasher must be leveled left to right and front to back. This ensures the dish racks will not roll in or out on their own, circulation water will flow to the pump inlet, and the door will close without hitting the side of the tub. • Remove the lower dish rack and place a level on the door and lower rack track as shown in Figure R. • Adjust the level of the dishwasher by individually turning the 4 legs on the bottom of the dishwasher as illustrated in Figure S. • The dishwasher is properly leveled when the level indicator is centered left to right and front to back. Also, the dishwasher door should close without hitting the side of the tub. • Replace the lower rack. • Open and close the dishwasher door to be sure it operates smoothly, and does not rub on the adjacent cabinet.

Check dishwasher alignment prior to opening dishwasher door to prevent panel damage. Make sure utility lines are not trapped or crushed behind dishwasher. Crushed lines will restrict water flow. Tip: Prevent unnecessary service charges. Verify dishwasher is leveled. Pull the dish racks half way out. They should stay put. Open and close the door. The door should fit in the tub opening without hitting the side of the tub. If the racks roll on their own, or the door hits the side of tub, relevel the dishwasher. 9
