Installation guide

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 moving the spring end toward the front of
the dishwasher.
• If the door falls open, increase the spring tension by
moving the spring end toward the back of the
dishwasher.
• Springs should be in the same notches on left and
right sides.

the dishwasher up.
2. Grasp the sides of the dishwasher
at the edges of the door panel.
3. Tilt dishwasher backwards on
wheels and move dishwasher close
to cabinet opening. Do not push on
the front of the panel or on the
console--they may dent.

supply cord into hole cut into cabinet.
If using direct wire, check that it is on the right front
side of opening.
5. Check that water line is on the left side of opening and
drain hose is near the center of the hole in the cabinet.
6. Slowly move dishwasher completely into cabinet
opening. Do not kink or pinch copper tubing, drain
hose, power supply cord or direct wire between
dishwasher and cabinet.

may have to support the front of the dishwasher by
raising, lowering or shimming front feet.
Remove cardboard from under dishwasher.
NOTE: It is all right if dishwasher fits tightly into cabinet
opening. Do not remove insulation blanket --the blanket
reduces the sound level.

HelpfulTip: Prop up one side of frame to hold
dishwasher up off floor when adjusting front legs.
With some installations, it may be easier to adjust the
front leg using the 3/16" hex head.
2. Check that leveling legs are firmly against the floor.

front panel. Check that dishwasher is plumb. If needed,
