Dishwasher Installation STEP 13: PUSH 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 push or pull the door in a partially open or closed position when moving the dishwasher. Do not use a knee or push on the center of the panel. If you do, damage to the panel will likely result. Check that the dishwasher is squarely positioned in the cabinet opening at both the top and the bottom of the appliance prior to mounting to the cabinet. IMPORTANT - Before opening the dishwasher door, be certain the edges of the dishwasher door panel are behind WKHIDFHRIWKHDGMDFHQWFDELQHWDQGQRWXSDJDLQVWWKHFDELQHW face. Refer to Figure U.

STEP 13:
PUSH 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 push or pull the door
in a partially open or closed position when moving the
dishwasher. Do not use a knee or push on the center of the
panel. If you do, damage to the panel will likely result. Check
that the dishwasher is squarely positioned in the cabinet
opening at both the top and the bottom of the appliance prior
to mounting to the cabinet.
IMPORTANT
Before opening the dishwasher door,
be certain the edges of the dishwasher door panel are behind
face. Refer to Figure U. 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.
