How to Install a Dishwasher | Bosch 500 series Dishwasher

Shut off water supply under the sink 2. Connect 3/8" water supply line to dishwasher inlet valve — Teflon tape on threads 3. Connect drain hose to sink drain or garbage disposal inlet 4. Route the power cord: Bosch 500 is hardwired — use a junction box (or check local code for plug-in adapters) 5. Adjust leveling feet so the unit sits flush with the cabinet face 6. Use Bosch's side-mount brackets to secure to the cabinet sides CRITICAL: Never mount Bosch to stone/quartz countertops from above — use the side brackets only. PRO TIP: Check that the dishwasher door is perfectly flush when closed — a 1/8" gap on one side usually means one leveling foot needs adjustment. → The little brush that reaches places nothing else can: https://amzn.to/3YfjIsA → Never guess about a wire again — best cheap multimeter: https://amzn.to/3CSgpQj More tools we use and love: → Keep your dishwasher clean and odor-free — Affresh cleaner tablets: https://amzn.to/4nrsUbP More tools we use and love: Subscribe for weekly DIY home repair:    / @housebarons   As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
