Push bracket into slot on the side of dishwasher, and bend tab in
toward the side of the dishwasher so that it keeps the bracket in
place. Repeat this step for the other side of the dishwasher.
NOTE: Do not attach the dishwasher. This will be done later.
Prepare Water Supply Line
Copper tubing only: Slide nut, and then ferrule about 1" (2.5 cm)
onto copper tubing.
NOTE: To avoid vibration during operation, route the water supply
line so that it does not touch the dishwasher base, frame or motor.
Get ³⁄₈" compression x ¾" hose fitting with 90-degree elbow. See
the “Tools and Parts” section at the front of the guide for part
details and orders. Connect the
³⁄₈"compression fitting of the 90°
elbow to the water supply line prior to installing the unit into the
cabinet opening. Attach such that the
³⁄₄" connection is facing
upward, as shown above.
Copper tubing only: Put the tubing into the 90° elbow fitting as far
as it will go (the copper tubing bends and kinks easily). Slide the
nut and ferrule forward, and then start the nut onto the elbow
threads.
Flexible braided connection: Secure nut to elbow using
⁵⁄₈" open
ended wrench or adjustable wrench.
NOTE: Do not use Teflon
®† tape with compression fittings.
Move Dishwasher Close to
Cabinet Opening
Use 2 or more people to move and install dishwasher.
IMPORTANT: Double-check correct placement of utilities. Grasp
the sides of the dishwasher at the edges of the door panel. Tilt
dishwasher backward on wheels and move dishwasher close to
cabinet opening.
NOTE: Do not push on the front of the panel or on the console.
Panel or console may dent.
Helpful Tip: Temporarily tape utilities to the floor in the locations
shown to prohibit them from moving when dishwasher is moved
into the cabinet opening.
Check that water line is on the left-hand side of opening and drain
hose is near the center of the cabinet opening.
