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

Attach the water supply line (copper tubing or flexible braided line) 
to the hot water line using a connection configuration that is in 
compliance with local codes and ordinances. The water supply to 
the dishwasher should have a manual shutoff valve located under 
the sink.

Slowly route water supply line through hole in cabinet. (If you are 
using copper tubing, it will bend and kink easily, so be gentle.) It 
should be far enough into the cabinet opening to connect it to the 
dishwasher inlet on the front left side of the dishwasher.

Slowly turn water shutoff valve to “ON” position. Flush water into 
a shallow pan until clear to get rid of particles that could clog the 
inlet valve. Turn shutoff valve to “OFF” position.

Route water line and tape it to the floor in area shown. This will 
keep it from moving when dishwasher is moved into cabinet 
opening.

Install Drain Hose

IMPORTANT: Always use a new drain hose. Check local codes to 
determine whether an air gap is required.

If needed, drill a 1

¹⁄₂" (3.8 cm) diameter hole in cabinet wall or side 

of the opening closest to the sink.

Route drain hose as shown through hole in cabinet to the front 
center of opening where drain connection will be made. Tape 
drain hose to the floor in area shown. This will prohibit it from 
moving when dishwasher is moved into cabinet opening.
