Installation Instructions
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 electrical
cable and drain hose. Or, cut an additional 1-1/2” dia. hole to
accommodate the water line.
If power cord with plug is used, water line must not pass
through power cord hole.
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” 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 20-120 PSI.
CAUTION:
Opening the door will cause the dishwasher
to tip forward.
Do not open the door until you are
ready to install the dishwasher.
If
it is necessary to open the door, hold the
top of the dishwasher securely with one
hand and hold the door with the other
hand.
• Open the door slowly, if the door drops when released,
increase spring tension. If the door closes when released,
decrease tension.
• Pull the spring adjustment pin out of the holes, insert in the
next highest or lowest hole and test again.
• Adjust both door springs to the same tension.
• Continue moving the spring pin until door is balanced.
STEP 1 CHECK DOOR BALANCE
To check the door balance, hold the top of the dishwasher
firmly.
