installed.

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.
Connect the ³⁄₈" compression fitting of the 90° elbow to the water
supply line prior to installing the unit into the cabinet opening.
Attach such that the ³⁄₄" connection is facing upward as shown
above.

ended wrench or adjustable wrench.
