Prepare Water Supply Line 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. 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. Connect the ³⁄₈" compression fitting 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 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 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. Check that water line is on the left side of opening and drain hose is near the center of the cabinet opening. Use 2 or more people to move and install dishwasher. †®TEFLON is a registered trademark of E.I. Du Pont De Nemours and Company. With another person holding the dishwasher to keep it from tipping, open and close the door a few times. If the door closes or falls open under its own weight, the door tension will need to be adjusted. 19
