The light lens is really not worth the trouble in my opinion.

You can see the red light projected on the underside of your counter with out it. What it does is creates a line of red between the DW door and the underside of the counter. Think a 1 unit high LED array that is used for the third brake light on some cars.

If the underside of your stone is not honed or polished, the lens wont stick anyway.

All this said - that model doesn't even have the projecting status light. Instead , it has a buzzer.

Be sure your cabinetry opening is plumb, level , and square.

Be sure the installer installs the fibre insulation between your cabinetry toekick and the unit's underside.

I've been amazed by all of the information that one can learn on this website.

I believe Xedos recently used the phrase echo chamber to describe my installation, and I was already inclined to believe him. The fact that your dishwasher runs pretty quietly outside of the cabinets only reinforces the idea that bad installations amplify the noise.

Best of luck!

Thank you for inadvertently answering my question about what on earth the instructions have you doing in steps 6 and 7!

I too eagerly await the answer for your question #2. If the inside dimension of the cabinetry is 24.5 inches would some fiberglass batt cuttings eliminate the echo chamber effect, or cause other problems?

Also, I'm curious about how you're handling the toe kick. Our current design is a thin sheet of wood with aluminum or stainless adhered to the front (typical overall toe kick thickness) but if that is inadequate I need to change plans.

Suppose you can add some insulation behind the dishwasher. I know some European Bosch dishwashers have some behind the tub as well - not so much for soundproofing but to keep the heat inside the tank as much good as possible.

Shicksal, I am continuing the cabinetry toekick across the diswasher.

Xedos - what fibre insulation are you talking about?

Sorry for the delay in replying - I didn't get a notification that there were replies here :)

step 6 shows you to pull the power cord from the front of the unit underneath it to the back - where your elect. outlet will be. It also shows you not to place that cord under the leveling legs. !

Step 7 shows you not to kink the drain and supply hoses and to be mindfull of the leveling legs.

Yours may not get the fibre insulation pad for the floor as it's a lower tier model. It's hard for me to keep track of all this stuff sometimes.
