STEP 11 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.
