STEP 12: INSTALL MOUNTING
BRACKETS
For wood countertops you will need the top-mounting brackets
and screws set aside in Step 1. For granite countertops you will
need the side-mounting brackets and screws set aside in Step
Z or purchased separately (GPF65Side-Mounting Kit).
You must install either the top-mounting brackets or the sidemounting brackets onto the dishwasher tub frame prior to
sliding the dishwasher into place under the countertop.
Install top-mounting
brackets if the underside of countertop
is wood or wood-like material that accepts screws:
• Position one bracket as shown matching its holes over the
holes on the top left of the dishwasher tub frame. Tightly
secure with two #8 Phillips 3/8" pan-head screws. Repeat
with the other bracket and screws on the top right side.
STEP 13: PUSH DISHWASHER INTO
FINAL POSITION
• Check the tub insulation blanket, if equipped, to be sure it is
smoothly wrapped around the tub. It should not be "bunched
up" and it must not interfere with the door springs. If the
insulation is "bunched up" or interfering with the springs,
straighten and recenter the blanket prior to sliding the
dishwasher into its final position.
• Slide the dishwasher into the final position by pushing on the
sides of the door panel. Do not use a knee or push on the
center of the panel. If you do, damage to the panel will likely
result.
• The dishwasher is in the final position when the edges of
the front panel are flush with the adjacent cabinets and the
dishwasher is centered in the cabinet opening.
IM PO RTANT -After
installing brackets
and
before
closing the dishwasher door, adjust the brackets by bending
them up as needed, so that they do not contact the top of the
dishwasher door and cause damage.
