Step 7: Inserting the drain hose through the cabinet
• Insert the drain hose into the hole in the cabinet wall. If a power cord is used, guide the end through a separate hole.
Step 8: Slide the dishwasher partially into the cabinet
1 Position the dishwasher in front of the opening, then slide the dishwasher into the opening a few inches at a time.
2 Pull the drain hose through the opening under the sink as you proceed. Stop when the dishwasher is a few inches in
front of the adjacent cabinetry.
3 Make sure that the drain hose is not kinked under the dishwasher and that there is no interference with the water line,
wiring, or any other component.
Tip:
Position the water line and house wiring on the floor to avoid interfering with the base of the dishwasher.
Caution: Do not push against the front panel with your knees. Damage will occur.

Step 9: Position the dishwasher under the countertop
1 Make sure that the wires are secure under the dishwasher and not pinched or in contact with door springs or other
dishwasher components.
2 Push the dishwasher into the cabinet. The front corners of the dishwasher door should be flush with the cabinet doors.
Be careful not to dent the front panel with your knees or damage the countertop or cabinets with dishwasher parts.
Step 10: Level the dishwasher
1 Open the door, then place a level on the door and on the rack track inside the tub to make sure that the dishwasher is
level.
2 Level the dishwasher by adjusting the four leveling legs individually.
Tip:
Check tub insulation blanket, if equipped. It should be positioned so it is not bunched up or interfering with door springs. Check
by opening and closing the door.
Note: You will not have access to the back leveling legs once the dishwasher is put in place.
IMPORTANT: The dishwasher must be level for proper dish rack operation and wash performance.
Tip:
Pull the lower rack out about halfway. Make sure that the rack does not roll forward or back into the dishwasher. If the rack rolls in
either direction, you must level the dishwasher again.
Note: You may need to pull your dishwasher out of the cabinet if major adjustments to the four leveling legs are required.
Do not push against the
front door panel with your
knees. You will damage
