3 Route water supply line

Slowly route water supply line through hole in cabinet. (If using copper tubing, it will bend and kink easily, so be gentle.) It should be far enough into the cabinet opening to connect it to the dishwasher inlet on the front left side of the dishwasher.

4 Flush water supply line

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.
