Page 15 highlights

Determine Cabinet Opening Turn both leveler legs to the same height. Put wheels in the required position determined from "Dishwasher Height Adjustment Chart." Measure height of cabinet opening from underside of countertop to floor where dishwasher will be installed (you will need to measure the lowest point on the underside of the countertop and the highest point on the floor). Refer to "Dishwasher Height Adjustment Chart" for wheel position and the number of turns needed. NOTE: If the minimum cabinet opening height is less than 34" (86.4 cm), the rear wheels can be removed for additional clearance. This will allow the dishwasher to fit into a 33¹⁄₂" (85.1 cm) high cabinet opening, but the dishwasher will be more difficult to move. (Measurements are approximate. Wheels and legs are preset at the factory for 34¹⁄₂" [87.6 cm].) Built-up floors: If the kitchen floor is higher than the cabinet opening's floor - for example, the kitchen floor tile does not extend into the cabinet opening - add shims as needed in the area shown to bring the dishwasher up to 34" (86.4 cm) below the countertop. NOTE: Shims must be securely attached to floor to avoid movement when the dishwasher is in use. Choose Attachment Option WARNING Excessive Weight Hazard Use two or more people to move and install dishwasher. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. Using 2 or more people, stand the dishwasher up. IMPORTANT: The dishwasher must be secured to the cabinet. There are two brackets found in the parts bag. Attach the brackets using Option Number 1 if the countertop is wood, laminate or another similar surface. If your countertop is marble, granite or another hard surface, install using Option Number 2. 15
