SECURE DISHWASHER
INCABINETOPENING
Check that dishwasher is still level front to back and side to
side in cabinet opening.
Open dishwasher door and place towel over pump assembly
and spray arm of dishwasher. This will keep screws from
falling into pump area when you are securing dishwasher
to cabinet.
Open dishwasher door to prepare for securing the dishwasher
tothe countertop or side cabinet.
NOTES:
■ The dishwasher must be secured to keep it from shifting
whenthe door is opened or closed.
■ Do not drop screws into bottom of dishwasher.
■ Locate brackets installed in the “Choose Anchor
Attachment Method” section, either on top or on the
sidesofthe dishwasher.
■ If countertop anchoring: Secure dishwasher to
the countertop with two #10 x
