3 Route water supply line
Slowly route water supply line through hole in cabinet.
(If 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.
4 Flush water supply line
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.

Slide nut and ferrule
onto tubing
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.
6 Add 90° elbow fitting to the
water supply line
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 below.
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 ®†
fittings.
