Prepare Water Supply Line; Move Dishwasher Close To Cabinet Opening - KitchenAid KUDS30CXWH Instructions D'installation

Prepare Water Supply Line

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.

Helpful Tip: Temporarily tape utilities to the floor in the locations
shown to prohibit them from moving when dishwasher is moved
into the cabinet opening.
Check that water line is on the left side of opening and drain hose
is near the center of the cabinet opening.
With another person holding the dishwasher to keep it from
tipping, open and close the door a few times. If the door closes or
falls open under its own weight, the door tension will need to be
adjusted.
