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.

Place towel under drain hose to catch any water in drain hose.
Place the small green drain hose clamp onto the small end of the
drain hose. Push the new drain hose into the black drain hose
connector up to the drain hose stop.
Be sure rubber washer is properly seated in tting. Slide the
³⁄4" tting up to the valve and hand tighten to
avoid cross-
threading. Hand tighten until the coupling is tight.
Using pliers, check the tightness of the coupling. An additional
¹⁄4 to ¹⁄2 turn may be required to seal the rubber gasket.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result.
Place paper towel under 90° elbow tting. Turn on water supply

Additional Tips
Expect longer wash times. Your new dishwasher will average
2-3 hours per load, but use nearly 40% less energy than older
models. Designed with a low wattage, low energy consumption
motor, your dishwasher washes longer to ensure exceptional
cleaning. Certain models are equipped with an optical water
sensor so the
