PLACING THE
STEP 7
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.)
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.
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 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. Have a second or third
person to help you do this if necessary.
CAUTION
Do not place the dishwasher on
the water supply line, drain hose, or power cable.
Also, make sure they are not folded or twisted.
