other materials that can easily drilled, Orient the mounting
brackets as shown in Figure 11, letterA, and position the

on the dishwasher's front corners, Push the mounting
brackets down firmly to insert the tabs into the slots,
2) Side Mount is used for countertops made of marble,
granite, or other very hard materials that cannot be easily
drilled, Bend the mounting brackets along the small holes
