POSITION DISHWASHER,
SECURE TO COUNTERTOP
OR CABINET
In this step you will need the 2 Phillips special head
screws from the screws set aside in Step 1.
The dishwasher must be secured to the countertop or
the cabinet sides. When the underside of the countertop
is wood, use Method 1. Use Method 2 when the
underside of the countertop is made of a material, such
as granite, that will not accept wood screws.
IMPORTANT – Prevent door panel and control
panel damage. Dishwasher must be positioned so
the front panel and control panel do not contact the
adjacent cabinets or countertop. The unit should be
centered between the 2 cabinets. Mounting screws
must be driven straight and flush. Protruding screw
heads could scratch the door panel or control panel
and interfere with door operation.
Method 1
Secure dishwasher to underside of wood countertop.
• Re-check alignment of the dishwasher in the cabinet.
Refer to Steps 12 and 13. Door panel and/or control
panel must not hit cabinets or countertop.
• Fasten the dishwasher to the underside of the
countertop with the 2 Phillips special head screws.
Refer to figure. Make certain screws are driven
straight and flush to prevent panel damage.
• Plug buttons must be installed to ensure proper door
to tub alignment. Install plug buttons to the side of the
tub well in the holes provided.
Method 2
Secure dishwasher to cabinet sides.
• Recheck alignment of the dishwasher in the cabinet.
Refer to Steps 12 and 13. Door panel and/or control
panel must not hit cabinets or countertop.
• Fasten the dishwasher to the adjacent cabinets with
the 2 Phillips special head screws provided. Refer to
figure. Make certain screws are driven straight and
flush to prevent panel damage. Do not screw into
the cabinet face frame.

to tub alignment. Install plug buttons to the side of
the tub in the holes provided.
