STEP 11: INSTALL TRIM PIECES
In this step you will need the trim pieces set aside in Step 1.
STEP 12: INSTALL MOUNTING BRACKETS
You will need the mounting brackets and 2 #8 hex-head screws set
aside in Step 1.
You must install the mounting brackets onto the dishwasher tub
frame top or sides prior to sliding the dishwasher into place under
the countertop. This dishwasher is capable of a true-flush installation
at a 24” deep opening. The mounting brackets have several
available attachment positions to accommodate different cabinet
constructions.
Install mounting brackets on top if the underside of
countertop is wood or wood-like material that accepts screws:
IMPORTANT - After installing brackets and before

them up as needed, so that they do not contact the top of the
dishwasher door and cause damage.
• If you are installing the dishwasher under a counter with a short
overhang, the countertop brackets may extend beyond the edge
of the counter. If this is the case, remove the excess length by
repeatedly bending the brackets at the front notch only until they
break.
Install mounting brackets on sides if the countertop is
granite or similar material that will not accept wood screws:
