Dishwasher Installation STEP 9 INSTALL MOUNTING BRACKETS You will need the mounting brackets set aside in Step 1. You must install the mounting brackets onto the dishwasher tub frame top OR sides prior to sliding the dishwasher into place under the countertop. Install mounting brackets on top if the underside of countertop is wood or wood-like material that accepts screws: Install the brackets by inserting the tabs through the slots on the tub frame as shown. NOTE: You may need to work the tabs through the slots. Top Insert the bracket tabs into the tub slots Mounting Using pliers, bend and twist the tabs upward to secure Bracket Tub Frame Bend and break here after installing if counter has a short overhang. Using pliers, bend and twist the tabs upward to secure as shown. IMPORTANT - After installing brackets and before closing the dishwasher door, adjust the brackets by bending them up as needed, so that they do not contact the top of the dishwasher door and cause damage. • If you are installing the dishwasher under a counter with a short overhang, the countertop brackets may extend beyond the edge of the counter. If this is the case, remove the excess length by repeatedly bending the brackets at the front notch only until they break. STEP 9 INSTALL MOUNTING BRACKETS (CONT.) Install mounting brackets on sides if the countertop is granite or similar material that will not accept wood screws: • Break off front portion of the bracket with pliers at the location shown prior to attaching to dishwasher. • Install the brackets by inserting the tabs through the slots on the tub frame as shown. NOTE: You may need to work the tabs through the slots. Using pliers, bend and twist the tabs to secure as shown.

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 re-center 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. • 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. 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 the face of the adjacent cabinet and not up against the cabinet face. Refer to figure below. 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. 9
