Dishwasher Installation STEP 12 POSITION DISHWASHER, SECURE TO COUNTERTOP OR CABINET In this step you will need the 2 Phillips special head screws from the screws set aside in Step 1. The dishwasher must be secured to the countertop or the cabinet sides. When the underside of the countertop is wood, use Method 1. Use Method 2 when the underside of the countertop is made of a material, such as granite, that will not accept wood screws. IMPORTANT - Prevent door panel and control panel damage. Dishwasher must be positioned so the front panel and control panel do not contact the adjacent cabinets or countertop. The unit should be centered between the 2 cabinets. Mounting screws must be driven straight and flush. Protruding screw heads could scratch the door panel or control panel and interfere with door operation. Method 1 Secure dishwasher to underside of wood countertop. • Re-check alignment of the dishwasher in the cabinet. Refer to Steps 12 and 13.
