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 and perforated section of the insulation blanket 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. Install Door Handle (on some models) Cut insulation blanket along perforation for cabinet opening height of 33½" (85.1 cm). For other cabinet opening heights, do not cut. IMPORTANT: Do not scratch the front panel during this procedure. Remove the door handle and hardware bag containing the setscrews and hex key from the cardboard box. Setscrews are already installed in the handle. Place handle on mounting studs with the setscrews facing down. Push the door handle tightly against the door. Insert the short end of the hex key into the setscrews. Tighten the setscrews ¹⁄₄ turn past snug. Retain hex key with Installation Instructions. Turn both leveler legs to the same height. Put wheels in the required position determined from "Dishwasher Height Adjustment Chart." 15
