FASTENING THE DISHWASHER TO THE CABINET
It's necessary to fasten the dishwasher to the cabinet
so it won't tilt when the door is opened or if something
heavy is placed on the door. Use only the stainless
steel screws provided with the machine.
1.
Use option A for U.S. or European standard
installations. Use option B only for European
standard installations.
2.
Cover the screw heads with the
plastic plugs provided with the
machine.
3.
When the machine is properly
attached, check that the feet are
tight against the floor and that the
machine is level.
REPLACING THE TOE KICK BRACKETS
After you replace the guard plate (see page 7), you need
to replace the toe kick brackets. While holding the spring
tab on the base pan toward the outside of the machine,
slide the bracket into the slots on the guard plate and
work it between the guide slots on the base pan.
Adjusting the Bracket Depth
You will have to adjust the bracket depth to allow for the
thickness of the toe kick. To do this, first measure the
thickness of the toe kick. Then press the spring tab on
the sides of the base pan toward the outside of the
machine and carefully pull or push the bracket to the
required depth less the thickness of the toe kick.
INSTALLING THE TOE KICK
Once you have the toe kick bracket in place, you can
install the toe kick, as follows:
1.
If you have not done so, remove the toe kick and felt
insulation from the brown paper packaging.
2.
Lay the insulation on the back side of the toe kick to
make sure it fits properly.
3.
Peel the adhesive protection strip off the insulation
and press it firmly to the back side of the toe kick,
making sure you don't cover any slots on the toe
kick.
4.
Positioning the notches on the toe kick at the edge
of the access panel, slide the toe kick up behind
the access panel then let it slide to the floor.
5.
Screw the toe kick to the toe kick brackets.

Adjusting the Toe Kick Height
on D1996FI and D1976CSTM
These models come with two toe kicks. Use the
mounted toe kick for shorter kick areas and both toe
kicks for taller installations.
The toe kick has extended screw slots that allow you to
adjust the height. Position the toe kick so it touches the
floor and tighten the screws.
Option A can be used for U.S. or European
installations. Use option B for European
standard installations only.
When it is not possible to attach the dishwasher
to the cabinet, you should install tip guards. (See
"Tip Guards" on page 2.)
Make sure the toe kick bracket is securely inside
the guides on the base pan.
