ALLING THE DISHW
ASHER
STEP 6
PREPARING THE DISHWASHER
1.
Ensure that the circuit breaker and water supply valve are turned off before proceeding with
the following steps.
Before you move or lay down the dishwasher for installation, make sure to adjust the height
of the legs so the legs are as short as possible. This prevents the legs from breaking.
Level the dishwasher by adjusting the height of the legs after you have the dishwasher in
place.
2.
Wrap Tefl on tape around the threads of the 90˚ elbow, and then attach the elbow to the
Inlet valve (Figure 4- B). Tighten until the elbow is tight and pointing towards the water hose
channel in the base of the dishwasher (about 4 o'clock). To prevent the inlet valve from being
blocked, make sure that the Tefl on tape does not enter the valve. Do not over tighten.
3.
Cut the strings securing the drain hose to the back of the dishwasher. Roll-out the hose.
Make sure there are no kinks and that the hose is not bent at any extreme angles that could
constrict the fl ow of water.
4.
Remove the junction box cover located at the bottom front right of the dishwasher using a
screwdriver, and then Install the strain relief (Figure 4 - C). Make sure to keep the junction box
cover you removed. It is used in Step 10, Wiring Connections.
5.
If the countertop is made of wood or a material that is not damaged by drilling, attach the
two (2) Installation brackets that were supplied with the dishwasher using the supplied
screws (Figure 4 - A). They will be used in Step 8, Securing the Dishwasher.
