Amana ADB1100AW Installation Instruction

Connect the

 ³⁄₈" compression fitting of the 90° elbow 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 

above.
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

®†

 tape with compression fittings.

NOTE: Do not install kick plate until instructed to do so.

IMPORTANT: Double-check correct placement of utilities. Grasp 
the sides of the dishwasher at the edges of the door panel. Move 
dishwasher close to cabinet opening.
NOTE: Do not push on the front of the panel or on the console. 
Panel or console may dent.
Helpful Tip: Temporarily tape utilities to the floor in the locations 
shown to prohibit them from moving when dishwasher is moved 
into the cabinet opening.

Check that water line is on the left side of opening and drain hose 
is near the center of the cabinet opening.

With another person holding the dishwasher to keep it from 
tipping, open and close the door a few times. If the door closes or 
falls open under its own weight, the door tension will need to be 
adjusted.

If the door closes too quickly, decrease the spring tension by 
moving the spring end toward the front of the dishwasher. 
NOTE: Springs should be in the same notches on left and right 
sides.
