Bottom sound pad installation
(on some models)
1.
Remove the bottom sound pad from inside the
dishwasher and take it out of the plastic bag.
2.
Place pad on the floor in front of the dishwasher, making
sure lettering is facing up and vinyl pad faces down.
3.
Fold up and hold the side panels down. Carefully slide
the pad toward the back of the dishwasher as far as it
will go, making sure not to push or pull any wires or
hoses. (Do not force.) Side panels will open to proper
position.
NOTE:
If there are pipes or other obstructions coming up
through the floor, you will need to cut a slit in the pad to
fit around the obstacle.
4.
Fold the front end of the pad up into position. Make sure
the vinyl pad is tucked up behind the door and the
dishwasher front legs, as shown.
Complete installation
1.
Check that grounding clip is attached to the lower panel.
2.

models have insulation on the access panel which must
fall behind the insulation on the lower panel.

Secure dishwasher in cabinet opening
1.
If you have not already done so, open dishwasher door
and place towel over pump assembly and spray arm of
dishwasher. This will prevent screws from falling into
pump area when securing dishwasher to countertop.
2.
Check that dishwasher is still level and centered side to
side in the opening.
3.
Secure dishwasher to countertop or sides of cabinet with
two, #10 x 1/2" Phillips-head screws. The dishwasher
must be secured to keep it from tipping when door is
opened. Do not drop screws into bottom of dishwasher.
4.
Open door about 3 inches (7.6 cm) and check that space
between inner door and tub is equal on both sides. If
spacing is not equal, loosen bracket screws and shift tub.
Tighten bracket screws.
5.
Check that top of door does not contact screws, brackets,
or countertop. If it does, dishwasher must be lowered
and re-leveled.
6.
If securing to sides of cabinet, replace the plastic buttons.
7.
Remove towel from dishwasher.
8.
Reinstall the lower dishrack.
