• Push the dishwasher the rest of the way into
the cabinet.
• Push the sides with your hands. Do not push the
dishwasher with your knee, as this will damage
the door.
• Check that the tub insulation blanket does not get
“bunched-up” or interfere with the springs as you
slide it into the cabinet.
• Center the dishwasher in the opening.
• Front of door panel should be flush with face of
cabinet.
• Carefully open and close the door to ensure that
the door panel does not catch or rub on the cabinet
frame. Refer to Figure T below.
• If the door catches or rubs on the frame, reposition
and/or level the unit (see Step 14) until the door moves
freely and does not contact the cabinet frame.

INSERT DRAIN HOSE
THROUGH CABINET

used, guide the end through a separate hole.

to avoid interference with base of dishwasher.
STEP 11
SLIDE DISHWASHER THREE-
FOURTHS OF THE
WAY INTO CABINET
IMPORTANT— DO NOT PUSH AGAINST
FRONT PANEL WITH KNEES. DAMAGE WILL OCCUR.
• Grasp the dishwasher by its sides and slide it into
the opening a few inches at a time.
• As you proceed, pull the drain hose through the opening
under the sink. Stop pushing when the front of the
dishwasher is a few inches forward of adjacent cabinets.
• Make sure drain hose is not kinked under the
dishwasher and there is no interference with
the water line, wiring or any other component.
TIP: Make sure the dishwasher will fit in the cabinet.
Check to be sure the power cable, drain hose, and hot
water line are not trapped behind the dishwasher. Utility
lines trapped behind the dishwasher prevent the
dishwasher from being pushed fully into the enclosure.
