DISHWASHER PREPARATION
(continued)
Removing the Toe Panel
Regular Toe Panel
The toe panel is loosely attached with tape. Remove
the tape and pull the toe panel away from the dish-
washer. Set the toe panel aside. It will be reinstalled
later.
Installing the 90° Elbow Fitting
NOTE: The 90° elbow fitting is not supplied with the
dishwasher, and must be purchased separately (see
Materials Needed section). 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.
NOTE: The white hose on the dishwasher's right side
panel is a factory-installed vent hose, not to be
confused with the gray drain hose. The vent hose
requires neither repositioning nor connecting by the
consumer.
Junction Box Preparation
1) Remove the junction box cover by removing the
screw on the left side of the junction box, as shown in
Figure 12, letter A, and 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 13, letter B and sliding the strain relief plate
out.
3) Set the junction box cover, strain relief plate, and
screws aside. They will be re-installed later.
