Attach such that the 3/4"connection is facing upward. 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 start the nut onto the elbow threads. Flexible braided connection: Secure nut to elbow using s/8" open ended wrench or adjustable wrench. NOTE: Do not use Teflon ®t tape with compression fitti ngs. Install Drain Hose IMPORTANT: Always use a new drain hose. Check local codes to determine whether an air gap is required. Slowly turn water shutoff valve to "ON" position. Flush water into a shallow pan until clear to get rid of particles that could clog the inlet valve. Turn shutoff valve to "OFF" position. If needed, drill a 11/2" (3.8 cm) diameter hole in cabinet wall or side of the opening closest to the sink. Copper tubing only: Slide nut, 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. 8 Route drain hose as shown through hole in cabinet to the front center of opening where drain connection will be made. Tape drain hose to the floor in area shown. This will keep the drain hose from moving when dishwasher is moved into cabinet opening. ¢ :TEFLON is a registered trademark of E.I.
