DISHWASHER PREPARATION (continued)

CAUTION

When any covers are removed or the dishwasher is out of the cabinet, electrical power and sharp edges or points may be exposed.

Removing the Toe Panel

Your dishwasher will include either a Metal Toe Panel or a Plastic Base Access Panel with a Metal Toe Panel (model dependent).

Method A - Metal Toe Panel

The toe panel is loosely attached with tape. Remove the tape and pull the toe panel away from the dishwasher. Set the toe panel aside. It will be reinstalled later.

Method B - Plastic Base Access Panel with Metal Toe Panel

The plastic base access panel and toe panel are in place on the dishwasher, but are not attached. Remove the toe panel first, as shown in Figure 12, then remove the plastic base access panel, as shown in Figure 12.

Do not overtighten the 90° elbow. Doing so may damage the water inlet valve and cause a water leak.

Installing the 90° Elbow Fitting

NOTE: The 90° elbow fitting is not supplied with the dishwasher, and must be purchased separately. If the dishwasher’s hot water supply line is to be copper tubing, make certain the elbow has a compression fitting.

Apply Teflon tape or other pipe sealant when required. Orient the hot water supply connection leg of the elbow toward the channel opening in the dishwasher base. See Figure 13.
