STEP 1
CHECK DOOR BALANCE
CAUTION
Opening the door will cause the
dishwasher to tip forward when it
is not fully installed. When opening
the door prior to the dishwasher
being fully installed, hold the top of
the dishwasher securely with one hand and hold the
door with the other hand. Gloves should be worn.
To check the door balance, hold the top of the dishwasher
firmly.
• Check the door balance by opening and closing the
door.
