Secure Dishwasher in Cabinet
Opening
45. Double-check dishwasher alignment in
cabinet opening
Check that dishwasher is still level front to back and side to
side in the cabinet opening.
Open dishwasher door and place towel over pump assembly
and spray arm of dishwasher. For some models, you may
have to remove lower dish rack. This will keep screws from
falling into pump area when you are securing dishwasher to
countertop or cabinet.
46. Secure dishwasher
Open dishwasher door to prepare for securing the
dishwasher to the countertop or side cabinet.
NOTES:
� The dishwasher must be secured to keep it from shifting
when the door is opened or closed.
� Do not drop screws into bottom of dishwasher.
� Locate brackets installed in the "Choose Anchor
Attachment Method" section, either on top or on the sides
of the dishwasher.
� If countertop anchoring: Secure dishwasher to the
countertop with two #10 x 1/2" Phillips-head screws
(included).
� If side anchoring: Drill pilot holes in cabinet to avoid
splitting the wood. Secure dishwasher to cabinet with two
#10 x 1/2" Phillips-head screws (included). Remove upper
rack for easier access.
