STEP 12 INSTALL TRIM PIECES
In this step you will need the trim pieces set aside in Step 1.
• Select the top trim piece (See Figure R) and line up
center to the top latch. Press the trim piece onto the
tub flange moving from one side to the other.
• Select the left trim piece (see Figure R). Align top edge
with the top trim and press it onto the left side of the
tub flange moving from the top to the bottom. Repeat
for the right side tub flange trim piece. (See Figure R for
right side trim piece.)
STEP 13
INSTALL MOUNTING BRACKETS
You will need the mounting brackets and 2 #8 hex-head
screws set aside in Step 1.
You must install the mounting brackets onto the
dishwasher tub frame top or sides prior to sliding
the dishwasher into place under the countertop. This
dishwasher is capable of a true-flush installation at a
24” deep opening. The mounting brackets have several
available attachment positions to accommodate different
cabinet constructions.
Install mounting brackets on top if the underside of
countertop is wood or wood-like material that accepts
screws:
IMPORTANT -
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.
• If you are installing the dishwasher under a counter
with a short overhang, the countertop brackets may
extend beyond the edge of the counter. If this is the case,
remove the excess length by repeatedly bending the
brackets at the front notch only until they break.
Install mounting brackets on sides
if the countertop
is granite or similar material that will not accept wood screws:
• Break off front portion of the tab with pliers at the
location shown.
• Position the left-hand side bracket as shown. Repeat
with the right bracket.

dishwasher.

do not interfere with components under dishwasher.
