With another person holding the dishwasher to keep it from
tipping, open and close the door a few times. If the door closes or
falls open under its own weight, the door tension will need to be
adjusted.
To adjust the door spring tension, unhook the spring from the rear
leg of dishwasher.
Using a ⁵⁄₁₆" nut driver or hex socket, remove the screw from the
tensioner.
The screw can be put into one of three holes (1, 2, 3) in the front
leg of dishwasher. If the door closes by itself, move the tensioner
to a higher number hole and replace the screw. Reattach door
spring to rear leg.
NOTE: Tensioners on both sides of dishwasher should be secured
at same holes.
When door is unlatched and door opens by itself, move the
tensioner to a lower numbered hole and replace the screw.
Reattach door spring to rear leg.
NOTE: Tensioners on both sides of dishwasher should be secured
at same holes.
IMPORTANT: If wheels were removed, cover the floor when
moving the dishwasher to avoid damage to the floor. Slowly move
dishwasher completely into cabinet opening. Do not kink or pinch
water line, drain hose, power supply cord or direct wire between
dishwasher and cabinet. Remove cardboard from under
dishwasher.
NOTES:
It is all right if dishwasher fits tightly into cabinet opening. Do
not remove insulation blanket – the blanket reduces the sound
level.
If using power cord, make sure to route end through hole in
cutout before sliding dishwasher into cabinet opening.
Align front of dishwasher door panel with front of cabinet doors.
You may need to adjust alignment to be even with your cabinets.
