Installation guide
Check door spring tension
1. With another person holding the dishwasher to keep it from
tipping, open and close the door a few times. If the door closes
or falls open under its own weight, the door tension will need to
be adjusted.
2. To adjust the door spring tension, unhook the spring from the
rear leg of dishwasher.
3. With a 5,_6" nut driver or hex socket, remove the screw from the
tensioner.
4. The screw can be put into one of three holes 1, 2, 3 in front leg
of dishwasher. If the door closes by itself, move the tensioner to
a higher number hole and replace screw. When door is
unlatched, if it opens by itself, move tensioner to a lower
numbered hole and replace screw.
5. Reattach door spring to rear leg. Tensioners on both sides of
dishwasher should be secured at same holes.

Using 2 or more people, stand the dishwasher up.
Grasp the sides of the dishwasher at the
edges of the door panel.
Tilt dishwasher backward on wheels and
move dishwasher close to cabinet
opening. Do not push on the front of the
panel or on the console -- they may
dent.
If dishwasher has a power supply cord, insert power supply
cord into hole cut into cabinet.
If using direct wire, check that it is on the right front side of
opening.
5. Check that water line is on the left side of opening and drain
hose is near the center of the hole in the cabinet.
6. Slowly move dishwasher completely into cabinet opening. Do
not kink or pinch copper tubing, drain hose, power supply cord
or direct wire between dishwasher and cabinet.
Helpful Tip: Once the dishwasher is in position, you may have
to support the front of the dishwasher by raising, lowering or
shimming front feet.
7. Remove cardboard from under dishwasher.
8. Using the precut slots in the insulation, attach the insulation to
the sides of the tub using the molded hooks on each side of the
tub.
NOTE: It is all right if dishwasher fits tightly into cabinet opening.
Do not remove insulation blanket -- the blanket reduces the sound
level.
Level the dishwasher
1. Align front of dishwasher door panel with cabinet doors. You
may need to adjust alignment to be even with your cabinets.
Helpful Tip: Prop up one side of frame to hold dishwasher up
off floor when adjusting front legs.

With some installations, it may be easier to adjust the front leg
using the 3_6" hex head.
Check that leveling legs are firmly against the floor.
Place level against top front
opening of tub. Check that
dishwasher is level from side to
side. If dishwasher is not level,
adjust front legs up or down until
dishwasher is level.
Close and latch the door. Place
the level against the front of the dishwasher to check to see if
it is vertically aligned.
5.
If needed, adjust rear leveling leg by using a Phillips
screwdriver to adjust the back of the unit. Turn the rear leveler
located on the front left hand side of the lower compartment
counterclockwise to raise the back of the unit.
