Removing the Toe Panel
Your dishwasher will include either a Metal Toe Panel
or a Plastic Base Access Panel with a Metal Toe Panel
(model dependent).
Method A - Metal Toe Panel
The toe panel is loosely attached with tape. Remove the
tape and pull the toe panel away from the dishwasher.
Set the toe panel aside. It will be reinstalled later.
Method B - Plastic Base Access Panel with Metal Toe
Panel
The plastic base access panel and toe panel are in place
on the dishwasher, but are not attached. Remove the
toe panel first, as shown in
Figure 12
, then remove the
plastic base access panel, as shown in
Figure 12
.
When any covers are removed or the dishwasher
is out of the cabinet, electrical power and sharp
edges or points may be exposed.
Installing the 90° Elbow Fitting
NOTE:
The 90° elbow fitting is
not
supplied with the
dishwasher, and must be purchased separately. If the
dishwasher’s hot water supply line is to be copper tubing,
make certain the elbow has a compression fitting.
Apply Teflon tape or other pipe sealant when required.
Orient the hot water supply connection leg of the elbow
toward the channel opening in the dishwasher base. See
Figure 13
.
Junction Box Preparation
1
Remove junction box cover (see
Figure 14
) by
lifting the junction box cover up and off.
2
Remove the strain relief plate by removing the
screw at the back of the junction box, as shown in
Figure 15
and sliding the strain relief plate out.
3
Set the junction box cover, strain relief plate, and
screw aside. They will be re-installed later.
Do not overtighten the 90° elbow. Doing so may
damage the water inlet valve and cause a water
leak.
