INSTALLING THE DISHWASHER

Step 7 Placing The Dishwasher And Connecting The Hot Water 
            Supply Line

1. Adjust the three leveling legs at the bottom of the dishwasher after measuring the height of 
    the cabinet opening from under the countertop to the floor. (See Step 8, Leveling the 
    Dishwasher.)
2. Locate the hot water supply line and the power cable.
3. Place the dishwasher so that the power cable is in the right channel of the base of the 
    dishwasher. Use standard duct tape or cable ties to secure the electrical cable to their 
    adjacent channels in the base. This can prevent the electrical cable from being squeezed 
    when you push the dishwasher into place.
4. Pull the drain hose through the hole in the sink cabinet side wall. Keep it free of kinks.
5. Make sure the hot water supply line is not twisted, and then connect the hot water supply line 
    to the elbow joint.
6. Slide the dishwasher carefully into the installation space. If possible, gently pull any excess 
    lengths of water supply line, drain hose, or power cable back as you move the dishwasher. 
    Get a second or third person to help you do this if necessary.
        Do not place the dishwasher on the water supply line, drain hose, or power cable.
        Also, make sure they are not folded or twisted.
