Place the two mounting brackets into the top corners of the dishwasher. Fix the mounting brackets (A) to the top corners of the dishwasher, with the screws supplied. Bend sides of mounting brackets (B) in order to fix from sides (if necessary). 6.3 ADJUSTING HEIGHT If the height of the enclosure is 337/8” to 357/8” (861 mm - 911mm) adjust supports as shown in the figure. Supplied (4) Adjust the front foot level with the adjusting wrench to balance and raise the dishwasher to the enclosure height.
6.4 INSTALLING THE SIDE TRIM STRIPS Remove the adhesive tape (Figure A). Place the trim strips on the front edge of the side walls (Figure B).

The flexible material should be facing forward (Figure B). 6.5 PREPARING THE WATER CONNECTION (A) Install an easily accessible shut-off valve (not supplied) in the water supply line.
If the dishwasher is installed in a location that experiences freezing temperatures (e.g. in a vacation home, cabin etc.), you must drain all the water from the dishwasher’s interior. Water system ruptures that occur as a result of freezing are not covered by warranty. 6.6 DRAIN PREPARATION The dishwasher drain hose may be connected to the drain plumbing in one of three ways (Figure A, B, C). NOTICE : • Either one of the above methods must be used or the dishwasher will not operate properly.
6.7 STEAM PROTECTION FOIL Steam will form inside the dishwasher during operation. At the end of the cycle, when the dishwasher door is opened, it is required to use a steam protection foil to prevent any steam from collecting on the underside of the counter top. 6.6.2 FITTING THE PROTECTION FOIL Before applying the steam protection foil to the underside of the countertop, clean the area with a damp cloth (as shown in Figure A). Once the area dries, apply the steam protection foil.
