5.Determine the location of your drain and begin to route the drain tubing in that direction. If using the gravity drain option you must provide 1/4" drop every foot of line. For drain pump application you must not go higher than 10 feet of lift. The lift should be made vertically at the beginning of the drain line. After the lift try and provide 1/4" drop every foot of line to the drain location.
6.Connect the water supply fitting by screwing the brass garden hose fitting to the water valve in the rear of the unit. Tighten this fitting with a pliers. Do not use Teflon tape or joint compound on the fitting. The rubber washer provides an adequate seal. Other materials could cause blockage of the valve. The copper water line should now be clamped to the rear of the unit to prevent rotation when sliding in. Remove the clamp from the unit, slide the tube into it and reattach using the 1/4" nut driver as shown (Figure 71 and 70).
7.Plug in the unit and put the unit into OFF mode by holding the power key for 10 seconds. Not doing this will cause the unit to fill with water for three minutes.
8.Turn on the water supply and ensure the connections are free of leaks.
9.Begin to push the appliance into the desired cabinet opening. The copper tubing should remain in two coils behind the unit. While pushing the unit into the opening continuously reroute the drain tube to avoid kinks. The most common installation pulls the slack into an adjacent cabinet or basement area. Again, if installing a gravity drain, ensure you provide proper slope
