Choose Anchor Attachment Method IMPORTANT: The dishwasher must be secured to the cabinet as one of the final steps. Prepare the dishwasher for this by attaching the 2 brackets found in the parts bag to the dishwasher. - For countertops that are wood, laminate, or another similar surface, use Countertop Attachment: go to step 36 - For countertops that are marble, granite, or another hard surface, use Side Attachment: go to step 37 NOTE: If the gap between the top of the door and the underside of the countertop is tight (less than 1/4" [6.35 mm]), we suggest using Side Attachment to keep from scratching the User Interface or console with the anchor screws. Countertop Attachment: 36. Insert bracket 38. Install bracket Push bracket into slot on the side of dishwasher and bend tab in toward the side of the dishwasher so that it keeps the bracket in place. Repeat this step for the other side of the dishwasher. NOTE: Install wood shims to the inside of the cabinets if the gap between the sides of the cabinet and the sides of the dishwasher are greater than 1/2" (13 mm) on each side. NOTE: Do not attach the dishwasher. This will be done later. Final Installation Check 39. Open and close door Remove the brackets from the package and insert into the open slots on the left- and right-hand top of the dishwasher collar as shown. Go to step 41. Bend tab 40. Closes too quickly - decrease spring tension Using pliers, bend/twist tab to lock the brackets in place. Side Attachment: 37. Break end of bracket If the door closes too quickly, decrease the spring tension by moving the spring end toward the front of the dishwasher. NOTE: Springs should be in the same notches on left and right sides. Break off the end of the bracket along the scored line using pliers. 16
