12 INSTALLATION

2 To allow for proper clearance of plumbing

and electrical, use the template included with

the literature to determine the clearance on

the side of the cabinet where the cabinet

meets the back wall. Using a 2 1/2” diameter

hole saw, drill a hole in the target area as

shown on the template.

WARNING

• Installation damage is not covered by the

warranty, and leaks caused by improper

installation may result in property damage.

• Do not use existing holes unless they are in the

target area.

• Failure to properly locate the hole for the water

and drain lines may prevent the dishwasher

from installing flush with the cabinets and could

result in kinked, pinched, crushed, stressed or

damaged lines.

Installing Moisture Barrier Tape

Install the moisture barrier tape to the underside

of the countertop to protect the surface from

condensation when the appliance is opened.

1 Clean and dry the area on the underside of

the countertop and the sides of the cabinet

opening where the tape will be applied.

2 Remove the protective film from the tape.

3 Install the tape on the underside of the

countertop.

4 Install the shorter pieces of tape on the sides

of the cabinet opening at the top.

NOTE

• Moisture barrier tape is included in the manual

assembly bag.

• If the countertop is made of granite or

waterproof materials, the moisture barrier tape

is not required.

• Condensation may occur on the underside or

along the front edge of the countertop when the

room temperature is low.

Leveling Dishwasher

Check that the dishwasher is level and adjust the

leveling feet if necessary.

CAUTION

• Failure to level the dishwasher may result in

leakage, problems closing the door, or noise.

• Where the cabinet opening is narrower than

recommended (see Preparing Cabinet

Opening), the dishwasher must be carefully

leveled and aligned so that the dishwasher is

supported fully by the 3 leveling feet and is not

hanging from the installation brackets. Failure to

do so can result in leaks from the front of the

dishwasher, AE errors, difficulty in closing the

door, or failure to operate.

Checking Leveling

To check that the tub is level from front to back,

remove the lower rack and pour 135 oz. (4 L) of

water into the bottom of the tub. The water level

should be near the center of both tub lower

indentations at the front.

With the lower rack removed, place a level on the

inside wall of the tub to check that the dishwasher

is level from side to side.

• If you do not have a level, try using a

smartphone level application instead.

Make sure that the gap between the tub walls and

the door liner is the same on either side.

Adjusting Leveling Feet

Adjust as needed until the dishwasher is

completely leveled.

• Adjust the front and rear leveling feet until they

are all in firm contact with the floor. Failure to

level the dishwasher may prevent the door from

closing properly and the dishwasher will not turn

on.

Adjusting Front Leveling Feet

Use a flat-blade screwdriver to turn the front

leveling feet and adjust the front of the tub.

• Turn the front leveling feet clockwise to raise the

front of the tub and counterclockwise to lower it.

• The adjustments work identically for both front

leveling feet.

• When a flat-blade screwdriver is unavailable, use

a 1/4" square drive wrench a or 3/8" square

drive wrench b with 1/2" socket c to turn the

front leveling feet and adjust the front of the tub.

Max 2 3/8”

(60 mm)

Adjusting Rear Leveling Foot

Use a Phillips screwdriver to adjust the rear

leveling foot and the rear of the tub using the

center screw at the base of the appliance in the

front.

• Turn the center screw clockwise to raise the rear

of the tub and counterclockwise to lower it.

NOTE

• To avoid damaging the screw, do not use an

electric screwdriver.

Securing Cabinet Panel to

Adjusting Appliance Height

1 Adjust the height of the appliance so the top

of the door is as close to the height of the

surrounding cabinet doors or drawer fronts

as possible.

2 Measure the difference in height (x") between

the top of the dishwasher door and the tops

of the surrounding cabinet doors or drawers.

3 Using the measurement from step 2, make a

mark x" up from the bottom of both rulers at

the top of the provided installation template.

Draw a line between the marks and trim off

the top of the template at the line. Cut out the

squares marked on the midline of the

template so that you can see the center line.

Adjusting Door Spring Tension

If the cabinet panel weighs between 17.6 lb (8 kg)

and 24.2 lb (11 kg), adjust the door spring tension

to make the door easier to open.

1 Open the dishwasher door to about 30 °.

• Do not adjust the spring strength with the

dishwasher door fully open.

2 Use the door adjustment screws provided to

adjust the door spring tension at the bottom

of the dishwasher.
