9 Check for plumb and adjust legs if needed
Check that leveling legs are firmly against the floor. Close and latch the door, and place level against the front panel. Check that dishwasher is centered from front to back in the opening. If needed, adjust leveling leg until dishwasher is plumb. Repeat for other side of dishwasher.
Helpful Tip: Push up on front of dishwasher to raise dishwasher off the ground to adjust front legs. With some installations, it may be easier to adjust the front leg using the 3/16" hex head socket or adjustable wrench.

Connect to Water Supply
1 Slide nut and ferrule onto tubing
Nut
Ferrule
Copper tubing only: Slide nut then ferrule onto copper tubing about 1" (2.5 cm).
NOTE: To avoid vibration during operation, route the water supply line so that it does not touch the dishwasher base, frame or motor.
2 Connect water supply using copper or flexible line
Copper tubing only: Put the tubing into the 90° elbow fitting as far as it will go (the copper tubing bends and kinks easily). Slide the nut and ferrule forward and start the nut onto the elbow threads.
Flexible braided connection: Secure nut to elbow using 5/8" open ended wrench or adjustable wrench.
NOTE: Do not use Teflon® tape with compression fittings.
3 Tighten copper or braided tubing connection
Hold the 90° elbow fitting still with one adjustable wrench and tighten the nut with second adjustable wrench.
Helpful Tip: Use a 5/8" open ended wrench for easier access to tighten connection.
