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 Move Dishwasher Close to Cabinet Opening WARNING Excessive Weight Hazard Use two or more people to move and install dishwasher. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. 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. 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. 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. Check that water line is on the left-hand side of opening and drain hose is near the center of the cabinet opening. †®TEFLON is a registered trademark of E.I. Du Pont De Nemours and Company. 17
