Preparing the hot water line
• The water connection is on the left side of dishwasher.
• The hot water line may enter the opening from either side, the rear, or the floor within the shaded area.
• The hot water line may pass through the same hole as the electrical and drain hose. Or, you can drill an additional 1.5 in.
(3.81 cm) maximum diameter hole for the hot water line.
• If a power cord with a plug is used, the hot water line may not pass through the same hole as the power cord.
Connecting the water line to the water supply
1 Turn off the water supply.
2 Install a hand shut-off valve in an accessible location, such as under the sink. This is optional, but strongly
recommended, and may be required by local codes.
3 Install the hot water inlet line, using at least 3/8 in. O.D. copper tubing. Route the line as shown in the figure above and
extend it forward at least 18 in. (45.72 cm) from the rear wall of the enclosure.
4 Adjust the water heater to a temperature of 120° F to 150° F (49° C to 65° C).
5 Flush the water line to clean out any debris.
Note:
The hot water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi (138 and 827 kPa).

Installation instructions
Step 1: Check the door balance
1 Hold the top of the dishwasher firmly.
2 Open the door slowly, then release it. If the door drops, increase the spring tension. If the door closes, decrease the
spring tension.
3 Continue moving the spring pin until the door is balanced. Adjust both springs to the same tension.
Step 2: Adjust the leveling legs
1 Move the dishwasher close to the installation location and lay it on its back.
2 Measure the installation height and the dishwasher height.
3 Extend the leveling legs out from the dishwasher base .25 in. (6.35 mm) less than the installation height.
Caution:
• Opening the door of your dishwasher before it is installed will cause it to tip forward. Do not open the door until you are ready to
install your dishwasher.
• If it is necessary to open the door, hold the top of the dishwasher securely with one hand and hold the door with the other hand.
Note: Make sure that the leveling feet are loosened before standing the dishwasher upright. They may be tight from
shipping/packaging.
