Step 1: Measure the HeightWoman using the control panel on SHARP dishwasher

One of the first measurements needed is the height of the space where you want to install your new dishwasher. This is often the space between the floor and the bottom of the countertop. To get an accurate measurement, use a tape measure to measure from the floor to the underside of the countertop. If the space is not perfectly level, measure at the highest and lowest points.

Step 2: Measure the Width

Measure the width of the space where you want to install the new dishwasher. This measurement is the distance between the two cabinets or walls where the dishwasher will be installed. Measure for your new dishwasher at the narrowest point to determine the maximum width of the dishwasher that will fit in the space.

Step 3: Measure the Depth

Finally, you need to measure the depth of the space where you want to install the dishwasher. This is the distance from the back wall to the front of the cabinets or countertop. Make sure to measure from the deepest point to the front, as this will determine the maximum depth of the dishwasher that will fit in the space.
