4J 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.
Copper tubing only: Slide nut, then ferrule, about 1"
(2.5 cm) onto copper tubing.
NOTE: To avoid vibration during operation, route the
water supply line so that it does not touch the
dishwasher base, frame or motor.
JAdd 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
s/8" open ended wrench or adjustable wrench.
NOTE: Do not use Teflon ®t tape with compression
fitti ngs.
Install Drain Hose
IMPORTANT: Always use a new drain hose. Check local codes
to determine whether an air gap is required.
If needed, drill a 11/2" (3.8 cm) diameter hole in cabinet wall or side
of the opening closest to the sink.
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.
