To avoid vibration during operation, route the water
supply line so that it does not touch the dishwasher
base, frame or motor.
With copper tubing pushed into compression fitting as
far as it will go, use a wrench and tighten compression
fitting nut to elbow on water inlet valve. Do not use
Teflon ® tape with compression fittings.
3. Place paper towel under elbow. Turn on water supply
and check for leaks.

flooring or the edge of the hole where it passes through
the cabinet.

hose connector.
6. Push the drain hose onto the drain hose connector.

drain hose connector. Push the drain hose onto

securely to the drain hose connector.

Tip Over Hazard
Do not use dishwasher until completely installed.
Do not push down on open door.
Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.
1. If you have not already done so, open dishwasher door
and place towel over pump assembly and spray arm of
dishwasher. This will keep screws from falling into
pump area if you unintentionally drop them when
securing dishwasher to countertop.
2. Check that dishwasher is still level and centered side to
side in the opening.
3. Secure dishwasher to countertop or sides of cabinet
with two, #10 x 1/2"Phillips-head screws. The
dishwasher must be secured to keep it from tipping
when door is opened.

4. Open door about 3" (7.6 cm) and check that space
between inner door and tub is equal on both sides. If
spacing is not equal, loosen bracket screws and shift
tub. Tighten bracket screws.
5. Check that top of door does not contact screws,
brackets, or countertop. If it does, dishwasher must be
lowered and re-leveled.
Remove towel from dishwasher.
