4. Installation Instructions

These brackets are designed for quick and easy installation. Follow these steps to secure your dishwasher:

Step 1: Prepare the Dishwasher

Ensure the dishwasher is disconnected from its power supply. Carefully slide the dishwasher out from under the counter to access the top mounting points.

5. Operating

These mounting brackets are passive components designed to secure your dishwasher. They do not have operational functions. Refer to your dishwasher's specific user manual for operating instructions.

6. Maintenance

The MOOKEENONE 8269145 mounting brackets require minimal maintenance. Periodically inspect the brackets and screws for any signs of loosening or corrosion. If any issues are found, tighten the screws or replace the brackets as necessary. Ensure the area around the brackets remains clean and free of debris.

7. Troubleshooting

• Dishwasher still moves after installation: Ensure the brackets are fully seated in the dishwasher's mounting slots and securely fastened to the underside of the countertop. Check for any gaps between the bracket and the countertop.
• Screws do not hold: If the countertop material is soft or damaged, consider using larger screws (if appropriate for the bracket holes) or alternative mounting methods recommended by your dishwasher manufacturer.
• Bracket does not fit: Verify that your dishwasher model is compatible with part number 8269145. While these brackets are widely compatible, some models may require different types of mounting hardware.
