Determine Cabinet Opening
Measure height of cabinet opening from underside of countertop 
to floor where dishwasher will be installed (you will need to 
measure the lowest point on the underside of the countertop and 
the highest point on the floor). Refer to “Dishwasher Height 
Adjustment Chart” for wheel position and the number of turns 
needed.
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 to fit into a 33
⁷⁄₂" 
(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). 
 
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.
