Tip: Prevent unnecessary service charges for panel
damage or wash performance.
Check dishwasher alignment prior to opening dishwasher door
to prevent panel damage.
Make sure utility lines are not trapped or crushed behind
dishwasher. Crushed lines will restrict water flow.
[ STEP 15 ] LEVEL DISHWASHER
IMPORTANT - Dishwasher must be level for proper dish
rack operation, wash performance and door operation. The
dishwasher must be leveled left to right and front to back.
This ensures the dish racks will not roll in or out on their own,
circulation water will flow to the pump inlet, and the door will
close without hitting the side
of the tub.
• Remove the lower dish _/
rack and place a level on
the door and lower rack
track as shown in Figure V.
•The height of the wheels
are adJusted from the front
of the dishwasher along Front
with the 2 front legs on to Back
the bottom of the _:_._!
dishwasher. Begin the
leveling process with the
front legs by individually
turning the front 2 legs.
Byadjusting the
front legs first,access
to the rear leveling
bolts is maximized
easing rear wheel
adjustment. When
the front legs are
adjusted to a height
resulting in an
appropriate gap to
the upper cabinet,
proceed to adjust
the rear leveling
bolts and wheels, i_
Individually turn
the 2 bolts to
adjust the rear
wheels. Slowly
rotate the 2 bolts
counter clockwise
to raise the Figure W
dishwasher, and
clockwise to lower it. Continue to adjust the feet and wheels
until the dishwasher is level as illustrated in Figure W.
•The dishwasher is properly leveled when the level indicator
is centered left to right and front to back. Also, the dishwasher
door should close without hitting the side of the tub.
• Replace the lower rack.
•Pull each rack out, about halfway. Check to be sure it does
not roll back or forward on the door. If the rack moves, adjust
leveling legs.
Tip: Prevent unnecessary service charges. Verify dishwasher
is leveled.
Pullthe dish racks halfway out. They should stay put. Open and
close the door. The door should fit in the tub opening without
hitting the side of the tub. Ifthe racks roll on their own, or the
door hits the side of tub, re level the dishwasher.

STEP 24 REPLACE TOEKICK
• Place toekick against the pre-toekick and legs of the
dishwasher.
Figure A Screws
• Align the toekick with the bottom edge and make sure it is
against the floor.
• Insert and tighten the 2toekick attachment screws. The
toekick should stay in contact with the floor.
• When reinstalling the toe kick on models with asound
barrier, ensure that the bottom edge of the rubberized flap
is flush with the floor. Any excess material should be tucked
up behind the outer door. Do not allow excess rubberized
flap to lay on the floor. Ifany 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.
