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.

wheel
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 33⁷⁄₈" (86 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].)
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.
IMPORTANT: Do not scratch the front panel during this
procedure.
Remove the door handle and hardware bag containing the
setscrews and Allen wrench 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 Allen wrench into the setscrews. Tighten the
setscrews ¹⁄₄ turn past snug.
Retain Allen wrench with Installation Instructions.
