KitchenAid 24-Inch 6-Cycle/7-Option Dishwasher, Pocket Handle Installation Guide

NOTE: Remove the brackets from the parts package.

Break off the end of the bracket along the scored line. 
With another person holding the rear of the dishwasher to keep it 
from tipping, open dishwasher door and place towel over pump 
assembly and spray arm of dishwasher. This will keep screws 
from falling into pump area when you are securing dishwasher to 
cabinet.

Push the plastic buttons out of the side of the tub.
NOTE: Save the buttons to cover the holes after dishwasher is 
installed.

Push bracket into slot on the side of dishwasher, and bend tab in 
toward the side of the dishwasher so that it keeps the bracket in 
place. Repeat this step for the other side of the dishwasher.
NOTE: Do not attach the dishwasher. This will be done later.

Prepare Water Supply Line

Copper tubing only: Slide nut, then ferrule, about 1" (2.5 cm) onto 
copper tubing.
NOTE: To avoid vibration during operation, route the water supply 
line so that it does not touch the dishwasher base, frame or motor.

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
