STEP 12: POSITION AND LEVEL
DISHWASHER
IMPORTANT- Dishwasher must be level for
proper dish reck operation, wash performance,
and door operation. The dishwasher must be
leveled left to right and front to beck. This assures
that the dish recks will not roll in or out on their
own, circulation water will flow to the pump inlet,
and the door will close without hitting the side of
the tub.
• Remove the lower dish rack and place a level on
the door and lower rack track as shown in Figure R.

• Check the tub insulation blanket, if equipped, to
be sure it is smoothlg wrapped around the tub.
It should not be "bunched up" and it must not
interfere with the door springs. If the insulation
is "bunched up" or interfering with the springs,
straighten and re-center the blanket prior to sliding
the dishwasher into its final position.
• Make sure the drain hose is not kinked under or
behind the dishwasher.
• Make certain the house wiring, drain line, and
water line do not interfere with components under
the dishwasher.
