Sliding Dishwasher into
Cabinet
1
Slide the dishwasher carefully into the cabinet
opening.
2
Make sure the drain hose inside the cabinet is
not kinked or pinched.
3
Make sure the water supply line and electrical
supply are routed through the channels under
the dishwasher.

To avoid a kinked or pinched drain hose, be
sure to pull on the drain hose while sliding the
dishwasher into place. Do not allow any slack
behind the dishwasher.

After leveling the dishwasher, do not leave the
water supply line or power supply line under the
base. This is a potential cause of water leaks.
Place the water line and power supply line in the
channel.
CAUTION
• The opening in the side of the cabinet may have
sharp edges. To avoid damaging the drain hose,
smooth out or pad the edges of the opening. Pull
the drain hose through the opening slowly and
carefully.
CAUTION
• Ensure the dishwasher is level and all legs are
in rm contact with the oor before attaching the
dishwasher to the countertop or cabinet. If the
product is not leveled properly, the door may not
close or water may leak.
