Slowly route water supply line through hole in cabinet. (If you are
using copper tubing, it will bend and kink easily, so be gentle.) It
should be far enough into the cabinet opening to connect it to the
dishwasher inlet on the front left side of the dishwasher.
Slowly turn water shutoff valve to “ON” position. Flush water into
a shallow pan until clear to get rid of particles that could clog the
inlet valve. Turn shutoff valve to “OFF” position.
Copper tubing only: Slide nut, then ferrule, about 1" (2.5 cm) onto
copper tubing.
NOTE: To avoid vibration during operation, route the water supply
line so that it does not touch the dishwasher base, frame or motor.
Connect the
³⁄₈
" compression fitting to the water supply line prior
to installing the unit into the cabinet opening. Attach such that the
³⁄₄
" connection is facing upward as shown above.
Copper tubing only: Put the tubing into the 90° elbow fitting as far
as it will go (the copper tubing bends and kinks easily). Slide the
nut and ferrule forward and start the nut onto the elbow threads.
Flexible braided connection: Secure nut to elbow using
⁵⁄₈
" open
ended wrench or adjustable wrench.
NOTE: Do not use Teflon

tape with compression fittings.
Install Drain Hose
IMPORTANT: Always use a new drain hose. Check local codes to
determine whether an air gap is required.
If needed, drill a 1
¹⁄₂
" (3.8 cm) diameter hole in cabinet wall or side
of the opening closest to the sink.
Route drain hose as shown through hole in cabinet to the front
center of opening where drain connection will be made. Tape
drain hose to the floor in area shown. This will prohibit it from
moving when dishwasher is moved into cabinet opening.
