i'd like to tile our kitchen, but have one concern. di i need to remove the dishwasher and tile under it, or just tile up to it. i looked at it, and am concerned that there will not be enough room to put it back in once the tile is laid. on the other hand, if i tile up to it, and i later need to remove the washer, i won't be able to get it out. which do i do?

thanks,
mitch.

no do not tile under dishwasher it is already a tight fit.
Just tile even with the kickplate under cabinets , all the way across the washer opening your dish washer cover plate will butt to tile.

You should be able to screw the adjustable legs up and out of the way.

Hi
IF after adjusting the legs, you still don't have enough clearance, you'll have to make sure you save some extra tile...just in case you have to remove a few in front of the dishwasher in the future. You should save at least a box anyway..just in case.
