STEP 13: PUSH DISHWASHER INTO
FINAL POSITION
•
Check the tub insulation blanket, if equipped, to be sure it is
smoothly wrapped around the tub. 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 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.
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 Q. 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.
• Open and close the dishwasher door to be sure it operates
smoothly, and does not rub on the adjacent cabinet.

Countertop Brackets
• 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 notches
until they break off.
