INSTALLATION
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 floor (see Step 8:
Leveling the Dishwasher, page 15).
2. Locate the hot water supply line and the power cable.
3. Place the dishwasher so that the power cable is in the right channel of the base of
the dishwasher (see Figure 6). Use standard duct tape or cable ties to secure the
electrical cable to their adjacent channels in the base. This can prevent the electrical
cable from being squeezed when you push the dishwasher into place.
4. Pull the drain hose from the back of the dishwasher through the hole in the sink
cabinet side wall. Keep it free of kinks and fasten it to the drain hose connector of the
sink (see Figure 7). See Step 10: Connecting the Drain Hose, pages 18-19, for more
information on connecting the drain hose.
5. Run the water line through the left channel of the base of the dishwasher and then
connect the hot water supply line to the 90° 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.
