KitchenAid 24-Inch 6-Cycle/7-Option Dishwasher, Pocket Handle Installation Guide

Open the door and align top edges. Predrill 2 pilot holes using a 

³⁄₃₂" drill bit. Use tape to mark the drill bit to gauge hole depth. Drill 

pilot holes approximately 1

¹⁄₂" (3.8 cm) into the top corners of the 

door using hole in liner as a guide.

Install 2 long screws supplied in top corners to secure custom 
wood panel in place.

Remove the short screws (3rd from top) on either side of the inner 
door panel. Predrill 2 pilot holes using a 

³⁄₃₂" drill bit. Use tape to 

mark the drill bit to gauge the hole depth. Drill pilot holes 
approximately 1

¹⁄₂" (3.8 cm) using the door liner hole as a guide 

into the panel. Install the 2 remaining long screws.

Choose Attachment Option

Use 2 or more people to move and install dishwasher.
IMPORTANT: The dishwasher must be secured to the cabinet. 
There are two brackets found in the parts bag. Attach the 
brackets using Option A if the countertop is wood, laminate or 
another similar surface. If your countertop is marble, granite or 
another hard surface, install using Option B.

Remove the brackets from the package and insert into the open 
slots on the left and right-hand top of the dishwasher collar as 
shown.

Using a pair of pliers, bend the tab down to secure the bracket in 
place. Repeat this step for the other side.
NOTE: Do not attach the dishwasher. This will be done later.
