STEP 22: REPLACE TOEKICK
. Place toekick against the legs of the dishwasher.
Screws
Figure CC
Align the toekick with the bottom edge and make sure it is
against the floor.
Insert and tighten the 2 toekick attachment screws. The
toekick should stay in contact with the floor.
When reinstalling the toe kick on models with a sound barrier,
ensure that the bottom edge of the rubberized flap isflush
with the floor. Any excess material should be tucked up
behind the outer door. Donot allow excess rubberized flap to
lay on the floor. If any excess is not tucked completely behind
the outer door, it will bunch up between the door and toe kick
and impede proper opening and closing of the door. This will
be noticeable because the door will not stay fully open and
will spring up.
Tip: Reduce sound from under the dishwasher.
Hake sure toekick is against floor.
STEP 23: LITERATURE
, Besure to leave complete literature package, these
Installation Instructions and product samples and/or coupons
with the consumer.
