A:AnswerI am including a link to our website Samsung.com for you to view the matching kitchen bundle for this model dishwasher (https://bit.ly/3koaE1o). We thank you for choosing Samsung for your home! ^Lena
A:AnswerI really would not recommend it as all the controls are built right into the top of the door and the chances of messing the unit up from working right and nul and void the warranty as well.
A:AnswerGo to the manufacturer's website. Often you can search by the model # or the serial # for a manual. If that doesn't work, try googling the brand, model # and 'manual' and you may find a website that has the manual available.
A:AnswerThe auto release can be set to either on or off depending on your preference. Page 12 of your user manual will provide further explanation of that feature. ^Lo
A:AnswerYou have to hard wire into the dishwasher ,the install kit has a 120 line plug on it ,I had to cut it off and strip wires and wire nut onto my existing power line .
A:AnswerHi Jackie,
Yes, the dishwasher has a protective plastic covering to help minimize or eliminate scratches during delivery and installation. Most of the time this is removed after installation.

A:AnswerThere are light great caps on the inside ridge on each side. One on each side. You pop those out and that is where your screws go to mount it to the side of the cabinet. It does not come with screws for this. The book even says they are not provided. So you will have to pick them up. After we secured it the grey caps popped back in place.
