Securing dishwasher to countertop
Using two or more people, stand the dishwasher up.
The dishwasher must be secured to the countertop by the
two brackets on top of the dishwasher.
NOTE: Do not attach the dishwasher, this will be done later.
Check door spring tension
With another person holding the dishwasher to prevent 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.
If the door closes too quickly, decrease the spring
tension by pulling the spring adjustment pin out of its
hole and reinsert it in the next hole toward the bottom
of the dishwasher.
If the door falls open, increase the spring tension by
pulling the spring adjustment pin out of its hole and
reinserting it in the next hole toward the top of the
dishwasher.

surface.
4. Apply thread seal tape to 90°
elbow fitting and connect
fitting to water inlet valve.
5. Tighten elbow until snug, and
be sure that it faces to the
rear.
6. 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. The power supply cord
kit must be U.L.-listed and marked for use with
dishwashers (i.e. Power Supply Cord Kit part
no. 4317824).
Helpful Tip: Put cardboard under dishwasher until it is
installed in cabinet opening. The cardboard will help
protect floor covering during installation.
7. Measure height of cabinet opening from underside of
countertop to floor where dishwasher will be installed
(you need the lowest point).
