It is all right if dishwasher fits tightly into cabinet opening.
Do not remove insulation blanket – the blanket reduces the
sound level.
NOTE:
Route water supply, drain hose, and power cord out the
rear of the dishwasher.
Route the utilities through the holes in the cabinet, and pull
the slack out at the same time as the dishwasher is pushed
into the cabinet.
If using a power cord, make sure to route end through hole in
cutout before sliding dishwasher into cabinet opening.
NOTE:
Make sure insulation blanket is secured at both left and
right rear corners before pushing into cabinet opening to keep
the blanket from bunching up in a tight fitting cabinet.
