Level the Dishwasher
CAUtION
A level unit is very important to proper operation.
Be sure to level the unit front to back and side to
side.
The unit comes with white plastic feet for the legs to
protect the kitchen floor from being damaged when
you slide the unit into place. They snap onto the
bottom of all three legs. Install them before leveling
the appliance.
Do not attach the plastic feet if the installation space
is the minimum required height.
to level the dishwasher:
1. Loosen the retaining nuts on the dishwasher’s
two front steel feet using a crescent wrench. Turn
the nuts until they are as close to the floor as
possible.
2. Measure the height of the front and back of the
cut-out with a tape measure.
3. Gently push back on the front of the dishwasher
and turn the feet, until the front of the dishwasher
measures 1/8” (3.0 mm) shorter than the cutout
height.
4. Open the door and pull the bottom rack out of the
dishwasher. Check to make sure the dishwasher
floor is level left to right using a level. Adjust the
front legs as necessary.
5. Using a flat blade screwdriver, turn the rear leg
adjustment screw until the floor of the dishwasher
is level front to back.
6. Leave the retaining nuts loose to allow for final
leveling after the unit is pushed into place.
