Connect to Water Supply Check that leveling legs are firmly against the floor. Close and latch the door, and place level against the front panel. Check that dishwasher is centered from front to back in the opening. If needed, adjust leveling leg until dishwasher is plumb. Repeat for other side of dishwasher. 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. 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. Connect the ³⁄₈" compression fitting to the water supply line prior to installing the unit into the cabinet opening. Attach so 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. Place level against top front opening of tub. Check that dishwasher is level from side-to-side. If dishwasher is not level, adjust front legs up or down until dishwasher is level. Close the dishwasher door. †®TEFLON is a registered trademark of E.I. Du Pont De Nemours and Company. 18
