Installation Instructions
PREPARE HOT WATER LINE
• The line may enter from either side, rear or fl oor within the
shaded area shown in Figure F.
• The line may pass through the same hole as the electrical
cable and drain hose. Or, cut an additional 1-1/2" diameter
hole to accommodate the water line. If power cord with plug
is used, water line must not pass through power cord hole.
Figure F
Water Line Connection
• Turn off the water supply.
• Install a hand shut-off valve in an accessible location, 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 dishwasher. Install
the hot water inlet line, using no less than 3/8" copper tubing.
Route the line as shown in Figure F and extend forward at
least 19" 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 20-120 PSI.
CAUTION:
Do not remove wood base until you are ready to install the
dishwasher. The dishwasher will tip over when the door is opened
if the wood base is removed.
STEP 2–CHECK DOOR BALANCE
• With dishwasher on the wood skid, check the door balance
by opening and closing the door.
• If the door drops when released, increase the spring tension.
If the door rises when released, decrease the tension.
Note:
Increase or decrease tension
as shown. Adjust both springs
to the same tension setting
to correct balance.

Tip:
If door spring adjustment is necessary, check door
opening and closing. If door does not open easily or falls too
quickly, check spring cable routing. The cable is held in place
by “shoulders” on the pulley. Check to be sure cable has not
slipped over the pulley shoulders.
STEP 3– REMOVE WOOD BASE,
INSTALL LEVELING LEGS
IMPORTANT
– Do not kick off wood base! Damage
will occur.
• Move the dishwasher close to the installation location and lay
it on its back.
• Remove the four leveling legs on the underside of the wood
base with an adjustable wrench or 15/16" socket.
• Discard base.
• Screw leveling legs back into the dishwasher frame,
approximately 1/8" from frame as shown.
