IMPORTANT: If wheels were removed, cover the floor when moving the dishwasher to avoid damage to the floor. Slowly move dishwasher completely into cabinet opening. Do not kink or pinch water line, drain hose, power supply cord or direct wire between dishwasher and cabinet. Remove cardboard from under dishwasher.

NOTE: It is all right if dishwasher fits tightly into cabinet opening. Do not remove insulation blanket – the blanket reduces the sound level.

NOTE: If using power cord, make sure to route end through hole in cutout before sliding into cabinet opening.

8 Align front of dishwasher with front of cabinet doors

Align front of dishwasher door panel with front of cabinet doors. You may need to adjust alignment to be even with your cabinets.

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.

1 Tighten 90° elbow fitting to valve

Be sure rubber washer is properly seated in fitting. Slide the ³⁄₄" fitting up to the valve and hand tighten to avoid unintentional cross-threading. Hand tighten until the coupling is tight. Using pliers, check the tightness of the coupling. An additional ¹⁄₄ to ¹⁄₂ turn may be required to seal the rubber gasket.

NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result.
