To maintain dishwasher
position and alignment,
locate the adjustable brackets at the upper tank corners as shown
in Fig. 13 and secure them to the counter top with self drilling flat head wood screws (supplied).
CAUTION :Make
sure screw heads will not interfere with the top of the door.
If these brackets are not compatible
with your
countertop,
the dishwasher
may be anchored to the floor with a VI" lag bolt (not supplied) through the hole in
each side of the dishwasher
frame as shown in Fig. 12.

CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY LINE
The water supply line should be flushed to clear any foreign material BEFORE connecting
to dishwasher.
Make sure there are no sharp bends or kinks which might restrict water flow.
To facilitate connection
of the water line from the rear of the dishwasher,
it is recommended
that a j/a" NPT street
elbow be connected to the fill valve and a 90° compression
elbow (3/8" NPT one end) be connected to the street
elbow. The supply line can then be connected to the compression
elbow (see Fig. 14).
NOTE:
If galvanized
pipe
is used, substitute
a second 3/8" street elbow for the compression
elbow.
Turn on water supply and check for leaks.
