6 Move dishwasher into cabinet opening Insulation blanket Helpful Tip: Push up on front of dishwasher to raise dishwasher off the ground to adjust front legs. With some installations, it may be easier to adjust the front leg using the hex head socket or adjustable wrench. Preferred method Optional method IMPORTANT: If wheels were removed, cover the floor when moving the dishwasher. Slowly move dishwasher completely into cabinet opening. Do not kink or pinch water line, drain hose, power supply cord or direct wire between dishwasher and cabinet. Remove cardboard from under dishwasher. NOTES: • It is all right if dishwasher fits tightly into cabinet opening. Do not remove insulation blanket - the blanket reduces the sound level. • If using power cord, make sure to route end through hole in cutout before sliding dishwasher into cabinet opening. • For models with water softener, make sure that the drain hose stays on the hanger that is on the right-hand side and is tucked in on the side of the unit. 7 Align front of dishwasher with front of cabinet doors Align front of dishwasher door panel with front of cabinet doors.

Be sure rubber washer is properly seated in fitting. Slide the ³⁄₄" fitting up to the valve and hand tighten to avoid cross-threading. Hand tighten until the coupling is tight. Using pliers, check the tightness of the coupling. An additional ¹⁄₄ to ¹⁄₂ turn may be required to seal the rubber gasket. NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result. 19
