NOTE: If the minimum cabinet opening height is less than 34" 
(86.4 cm), the rear wheels can be removed for additional 
clearance. This will allow the dishwasher and perforated section 
of the insulation blanket to fit into a 33
¹⁄₂" (85.1 cm) high cabinet 
opening, but the dishwasher will be more difficult to move. 
Measurements are approximate. Wheels and legs are preset at 
the factory for 34
¹⁄₂" (87.6 cm).
Cut insulation blanket along perforation for cabinet opening height 
of 33½" (85.1 cm). For other cabinet opening heights, do not cut.
Turn both leveler legs to the same height. Put wheels in the 
required position determined from “Dishwasher Height 
Adjustment Chart.”
Built-up floors: If the kitchen floor is higher than the cabinet 
opening's floor - for example, the kitchen floor tile does not 
extend into the cabinet opening - add shims as needed in the area 
shown to bring the dishwasher up to 34" (86.4 cm) below the 
countertop.
NOTE: Shims must be securely attached to floor to avoid 
movement when the dishwasher is in use.

IMPORTANT: Do not scratch the front panel during this

already installed in the handle. Place handle on mounting studs 
with the setscrews facing down. Push the door handle tightly 
against the door. Insert the short end of the hex key into the 
setscrews. Tighten the setscrews
