2.	Measure overall length	copper
	of copper tubing	tubing
	required.
3.	Attach copper tubing
	to the water line with a
	manual shutoff valve.

4.Slowly feed copper tubing through hole in

cabinet. Copper tubing will bend and kink easily, so be gentle. The copper tubing should be far enough into the cabinet opening to connect it to dishwasher inlet on the front left of the dishwasher.

5.Turn water shutoff valve to “ON” position. Flush water into a shallow pan to get rid of particles that may clog the inlet valve.

6.Turn shutoff valve to “OFF” position.

• Option 3, Waste disposer – no air gap*

• Option 4, No waste disposer – no air gap*

*an air gap is recommended

Helpful Tip: To reduce the vibration of the hose, keep the hose away from the floor and the edge of the hole where it passes through the cabinet.

Option 1: Waste disposer – with air gap:

1.Remove the disposer knockout plug. Cut end of drain hose if needed (do not cut ribbed section).

2.Attach drain hose to air gap with large spring-type clamp. If the drain hose was cut, use a 1-1/2" to 2" (3.8 to 5 cm) screw-type clamp*.

3.Use a rubber hose connector* with spring or screw- type clamps* to connect air gap to disposer inlet.

This connection must be before the drain trap and at least 20" (50.8 cm) above the floor where dishwasher will be installed.
