STEP 2: CHECK DOOR BALANCE
• With the dishwasher on the wood base, check the
door balance by opening and closing the door.
• The door is properly balanced if it gently drops
from a 1/2 open position and does not rise from
the full open position.
• If necessary, increase or decrease tension as
shown. Latch the door and adjust springs to
correct balance.
Dishwasher Installation
CAUTION
Do not remove the wood base until you are ready to
install the dishwasher. The dishwasher will tip over
when the door is opened if the base is removed.
STEP 4: REMOVE ACCESS PANEL
AND TOEKICK
The top mounting holes in the access panel are
slotted.
• Remove the lower two 10-16 x 3/8" sheet metal
screws. Do not remove the two top 8-32 x 1/4"
machine thread screws.
• Slide the access panel to the left as far as it will go.
• Gently pull the access panel forward to remove
it from the top screws.
Set access panel, toekick and screws aside for use
in Step 20.
Tip: Prevent
tub damage.
Remove only
the 3/8" sheet
metal screws
in this step.
This will help
prevent a mix-
up with the
1/4" machine
thread screws
in Step 20.
