Determine Cabinet Opening

Measure height of cabinet opening from underside of countertop
to floor where dishwasher will be installed (you will need to
measure the lowest point on the underside of the countertop and
the highest point on the floor). Refer to "Dishwasher Height
Adjustment Chart" for wheel position and the number of turns
needed.
NOTE: If the minimum cabinet opening height is less than
34" (86.4 cm), the rear wheels can be removed for additional
clearance. This will allow the dishwasher to fit into a 33¹⁄₂"
(85.1 cm) high cabinet opening, but the dishwasher will be more
difficult to move. (Measurements are approximate. Wheels and
legs are preset at the factory for 34¹⁄₂" [87.6 cm].)
Turn both leveler legs to the same height. Put wheels in the
required position determined from "Dishwasher Height
Adjustment Chart."
Built-up floors: If the kitchen floor is higher than the cabinet
opening's floor - for example, the kitchen floor tile does not
extend into the cabinet opening - add shims as needed in the area
shown to bring the dishwasher up to 34" (86.4 cm) below the
countertop.
NOTE: Shims must be securely attached to floor to avoid
movement when the dishwasher is in use.

WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
dishwasher.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Using 2 or more people, stand the dishwasher up.
IMPORTANT: The dishwasher must be secured to the cabinet.
There are two brackets found in the parts bag. Attach the
brackets using Option Number 1 if the countertop is wood,
laminate or another similar surface. If your countertop is marble,
granite or another hard surface, install using Option Number 2.
