KitchenAid 8574116 Dishwasher User Manual


 
7. Remove terminal box cover.
– If you are direct wiring: install a U.L.-listed/CSA-
certified clamp connector to the terminal box. If using
conduit, use a U.L.-listed/CSA-certified conduit
connector.
– If you are installing a power supply cord kit, do so
now, following kit instructions.
Helpful Tip: Put cardboard under dishwasher until it is
installed in cabinet opening. The cardboard will help
protect floor covering during
installation.
8. Measure height of cabinet opening
from underside of countertop to floor
where dishwasher will be installed
(you need the lowest point). Check
chart for that height opening. Put
wheels in the required position.
9. Turn both front leveler legs to the same
height.
If the minimum cutout 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 33-7/8”
(86 cm) high cutout, but the dishwasher will
be more difficult to move into position. If
the wheels are removed, protect the floor
when moving the dishwasher.
If you have built-up floors
1. Measure height of opening
from underside of countertop
to built-up floor. If the height
is at least 33-3/4” (85.7 cm),
the dishwasher will fit into
the opening without
modification to the
countertop or flooring.
2. Put wheels in position 1 and
turn the front leveler legs up
all the way.
