To maintain dishwasher position and alignment, locate the adjustable brackets at the upper tank corners as shown in Fig. 13 and secure them to the counter top with self drilling flat head wood screws (supplied). CAUTION :Make sure screw heads will not interfere with the top of the door. If these brackets are not compatible with your countertop, the dishwasher may be anchored to the floor with a VI” lag bolt (not supplied) through the hole in each side of the dishwasher frame as shown in Fig. 12.

4 CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY LINE

The water supply line should be flushed to clear any foreign material BEFORE connecting to dishwasher.

Make sure there are no sharp bends or kinks which might restrict water flow.

To facilitate connection of the water line from the rear of the dishwasher, it is recommended that a j/a” NPT street elbow be connected to the fill valve and a 90° compression elbow (3/8” NPT one end) be connected to the street elbow. The supply line can then be connected to the compression elbow (see Fig. 14). NOTE: If galvanized pipe is used, substitute a second 3/8” street elbow for the compression elbow.

Turn on water supply and check for leaks.
