toekick screws (located in the litera-
ture package.)
PREPARE HOT WATER LINE
• The line may enter from either side, rear or floor
within the shaded area shown in Figure F.
• The line may pass through the same hole as the
electival cable and drain hose. Or, cut an additional
1-1/2”dia. hole to accomodate the water line. If power
cord with plug is used, water line must not pass
through cord hole.
STEP 1: Check Door Balance
To check the door balance, hold the top of the dish-
washer firmly.
WATER LINE CONNECTION
• Turn off water supply.
• Install a hand shut-off valve in an accessible loca-
tion, such as under the sink. (Optional, but strongly
recommended and may be required by local codes.)
• Water connection is on the left side of the dish-
washer. Install the hot water inlet line, using no less
than 3/8” O.D. copper tubing. Route the line as shown
in Figure F and extend forward at least 18” from rear
wall.
• Adjust water heater for 120° F to 150° F temperature.
• Flush water line to clean out debris.
• The hot water supply line pressure must be
20-120PSI.
• Open the door slowly, if the door drops when
released increase spring tension. If the door closes
when released decrease tention.
• Adjust both door springs to the same tension.
• Continue moving the spring pin until door is balanced.
