SecUrING The dIShWASher
The dishwasher should be fixed to the countertop or side walls for additional stability and safety.
1.
When the countertop is made of wood or the material will not be damaged by drilling, follow
the instructions in
2-1
below.
When the countertop is made of granite, marble or any other kind of material that can be
damaged by drilling, follow the instructions in
2-2
below.
2-1.
Check to connect the Installation brackets to the front top of the dishwasher as shown in
Figure 8. (If the Brackets are exposed under the countertop, cut them using a tool as shown
in Figure 8. Be careful that you are not hurt by the cutting plane.)
Attach the dishwasher to the countertop by fastening the screw through the hole.
2-2.
Open the door and remove the tub spacer caps on both sides of the tub. Insert the screws
into both sides of the tub except for the tub spacer cap and secure the dishwasher to the
side walls by fastening them as shown in Figure 9. At this time, fasten the screws and ensure
that the tub is not distorted.
After fastening the screws, place the tub spacer caps into original location of the dishwasher.
• The screws or tub spacer cap may fall into the dishwasher while you are working
with the door open. Cover the interior of the dishwasher with a towel to prevent any
screws from falling into the dishwasher. If any foreign items such as a screw get into
the dishwasher, it may cause noise, an abnormal operation, damage, or a product
malfunction.
• Use a magnetic screwdriver to help prevent screws from falling into the dishwasher.
• If a foreign item such as a screw gets into the dishwasher and you are unable to remove
it, it needs to be disassembled. Contact a qualified service technician for this.
