11. Measure cabinet opening If using copper tubing, measure overall length of copper tubing required to reach the water supply, cut to length, and attach with compression fittings. 13. Slide nut and ferrule onto tubing (copper tubing only) Measure the height of cabinet opening from the underside of the countertop to the floor where the dishwasher will be installed. Be sure to measure the lowest point on the underside of the countertop and the highest point on the floor. Leveling leg adjustment Nut Ferrule Use wrench to initially loosen leveling legs if needed. Adjust all four leveling legs to the same height by rotating each foot clockwise or counterclockwise as needed. The unit comes with the legs set for a 335/8" (85.4 cm) height installation. If your opening height is 341/2" (87.6 cm), you would therefore need to raise all four legs by 7/8" (2.22 cm). NOTE: Adjust rear leg height first before moving unit into the cut out. Legs can be removed if necessary for tight installations. opper tubing only: Put the tubing into the 90° elbow fitting as far as it will go. (The copper tubing bends and kinks easily.) Push the nut and ferrule forward and tighten it, so that it sits right up against elbow threads. NOTE: To avoid vibration during operation, route the water supply line so that it does not touch the dishwasher base, frame, or motor. If using copper tubing, skip step 14 and go to 15. 14. Flexible line CONNECT WATER LINE TO FILL VALVE - For Copper line, begin with Step 12 - For Flexible line, begin with Step 14 12. Copper Water Line Flexible braided line: Confirm the flexible braided line is long enough. Get 3/8" compression x 3/4" hose fitting with 90° elbow. Connect the 3/8" compression fitting of the 90° elbow fitting to the water supply line. Attach such that the 3/4" connection is facing upward as shown below. 16
