Step 1: place the dishwasher in the desired spot

Is the dishwasher in the right spot? Unscrew all the legs. You can adjust the left and right front legs. The leg in the back of the dishwasher can be adjusted with the screw in the middle.

Make sure that the top of the appliance is placed tightly against the top.
