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 fl oor. (See Step 7, Leveling the
Dishwasher.)
2.
Locate the hot water supply line and the power cable.
3.
Place the dishwasher so that the hot water supply line is in the left channel and the power
cable is in the right channel of the base of the dishwasher. Use standard duct tape or cable
ties to secure the water line and electrical cable to their adjacent channels in the base. This
can prevent the the water line and electrical cable from being squeezed when you push the
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.
