There are 2 options for securing the dishwasher. For countertops made of wood or other materials that won’t be damaged by drilling, use method 1. For countertops made of granite, marble, or other materials that could be damaged by drilling, use method 2.
Ensure the dishwasher is level and all leveling feet are in firm contact with the floor before attaching the dishwasher to the countertop or cabinet. If the dishwasher is not leveled properly, the door may not close properly or water may leak.
Installation brackets and screws can be found in the silverware basket.
Use a magnetic screwdriver.
Cover the filter hole with towels to prevent screws from falling down into the pump.
Method 1: Securing to Countertop
Use the shorter 12 mm wood screws provided to secure the brackets at the top of the dishwasher to the underside of the wood countertop. Drive the screw through the appropriate hole in the installation bracket.Use a nipper or tin snips to carefully trim off the excess part of the bracket.
Method 2: Securing to Cabinets
Remove the 2 plastic caps from the mounting bracket access holes.Drive a 20 mm wood screw (longer screw) through the mounting bracket and into the cabinet side.If the provided 20 mm screws are not long enough to secure the dishwasher to the cabinet side, use screws that are long enough to secure to the cabinets.If you have framed cabinets, use screws that are long enough to secure the dishwasher to the cabinets or attach wood spacers (not included) to the cabinets on either side of the dishwasher.Reinstall the plastic caps.
