Dishwasher Installation STEP 14 - LEVEL DISHWASHER IMPORTANT - Dishwasher must be level for proper dish rack operation and wash performance. • For Top-Mount Control Models: Make sure 1/2" minimum gap is maintained. • For All Models: Place level on door to check that the dishwasher is level side to side. Remove lower rack, place level on lower rack track inside tub to check that the dishwasher is level front to back.

Turn Legs to Adjust Figure Y • The dishwasher is properly leveled when the level indicator is centered left to right and front to back. The dishwasher door should close without hitting the sides of the tub, • Replace the lower rack when leveling is complete. Tip: Avoid unnecessary service charges for poor wash performance and rack operation. Pull the dish racks half way out. They should remain stationary. 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 the tub, relevel the dishwasher. IMPORTANT - After leveling, verify that the dishwasher is centered in the enclosure and the door does not hit adjacent cabinets.
