Dishwasher installation

2. Installing the dishwasher under the countertop.

It is preferable to install the main water and electric supplies so that they can be accessed through an adjacent cabinet, rather than situating them behind the machine. See the “Plumbing” and “Electrical” sections for proper connection procedures before continuing.

Place the slides, with the ratchet at the rear, onto the dishwasher legs.

Unscrew the legs to raise the machine to within 1/4" (5 mm) of the underside of the countertop, and check that the machine is level, before sliding it into its opening.

Certain steps in the installation procedures require that the dishwasher be pulled out of its opening. For this reason, perform the final plumbing and electrical connections after the machine has been levelled and the front panel has been mounted.

Install the slides.

Two slides are included and should be installed on the feet of the dishwasher before the machine is pushed under the countertop. This will allow the machine to slide easier, protect the floor, and allow adjustment of the rear leveling legs from the front of the machine.

Push the machine into the opening, making sure the electrical cable and hoses can reach their connection points without being kinked.

Adjust the rear leveling legs to the required height.

To raise the machine - turn clockwise.

To lower the machine - turn counterclockwise.

Several turns may be needed to set the correct height. A low speed electric or cordless screwdriver can also be used.

Adjust the front leveling legs by pushing on the foot with a slotted screwdriver.

Tipping the machine slightly, if possible, will make adjusting the front legs easier. Make sure the machine is level when adjustments are complete.

The dishwasher should be raised until it just touches the underside of the countertop.
