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.

5 Slide nut and ferrule onto tubing

Nut

Ferrule

Copper tubing only: Slide nut, then ferrule, about 1" (2.5 cm) onto copper tubing.

6 Add 90° elbow fitting to the water supply line

Connect the ³⁄₈" compression fitting to the water supply line prior to installing the unit into the cabinet opening. Attach such that the ³⁄₄" connection is facing upward.

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.

Install Drain Hose

IMPORTANT: Always use a new drain hose. Check local codes to determine whether an air gap is required.

1 Drill hole

1¹⁄₂"

(3.8 cm)

If needed, drill a 1¹⁄₂" (3.8 cm) diameter hole in cabinet wall or side of the opening closest to the sink.

2 Route drain hose

Drain hose

Route drain hose as shown through hole in cabinet to the front center of opening where drain connection will be made. Tape drain hose to the floor in area shown. This will keep the drain hose from moving when dishwasher is moved into cabinet opening.
