How to Install Bosch Dishwashers
- 1). Turn off the power to the dishwasher circuit at the breaker panel or fuse box.
- 2). Open the panel underneath your old dishwasher and disconnect the power connections.
- 3). Reach underneath the kitchen sink and turn off the hot water supply. Then disconnect the hot water feed and drain tube coming from the dishwasher.
- 4). Loosen the mounting screws and pull out the old dishwasher.
- 5). Slide the new Bosch dishwasher up to the edge of the cabinet.
- 6). Apply Teflon tape to the threads on the hot water feed and tighten the new water supply line to the connection.
- 7). Feed the supply line and electrical wiring through the chase at the back of the cabinet into the opening for the dishwasher. It may help to tape the two down to the floor with duct tape to keep them in place.
- 8). Slide the dishwasher halfway into the opening and feed the drain line back through the chase into the under-sink cabinet. Connect the drain line to the disposal or drain and tighten the clamp with a flathead screwdriver.
- 9). Slide the dishwasher in the rest of the way. Remove the front, bottom panel of the dishwasher (if it isn't already removed). Reach underneath the dishwasher and pull the electrical and supply lines forward.
