Securing Dishwasher in Cabinet Opening

There are 2 options for securing the dishwasher. If the countertop is made of wood or a material that can safely be drilled into, secure the dishwasher to the countertop with the provided brackets. If the countertop is granite, marble, or a material that cannot be drilled into, secure the dishwasher to the cabinet frame with the provided wood screws.

Caution
  • 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.

Note
  • 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.
