Preparing the Water Connection (A)
• Install an easily accessible shut-off valve (not
supplied) in the water supply line. All solder
connections must be made before the water line
is connected to the dishwasher's water inlet valve.
Water can also be supplied to the dishwasher by
using a exible braided hose line.
• Check with your plumbing supply sources for the
proper hose and 90° elbow and necessary ttings
for the water supply line. This material is not
supplied and must be purchased separately.
Installing the 900 elbow Fitting (B)
Do not overtighten the 90° elbow. Doing so may damage the
water inlet valve and cause a water leak.
If the water supply line is to be copper tubing, make certain that
the elbow has a compression tting. Apply Teon tape or other
pipe sealant when required. Orient the water supply connection
downwards as shown in the gure so the water line can be easily
pulled underneath or on the side of the dishwasher.
WARNING
Installation should be performed by a qualied
installer. Work by unqualied persons could be
dangerous and may void the warranty.
If the dishwasher is installed in a location that
experiences freezing temperatures (e.g. in a
vacation home, cabin, etc.), you must drain
all the water from the dishwasher's interior.

connection (Figure C).
NOTICE
• Either one of the above methods must be used or
the dishwasher will not operate properly.
• A hose that attaches to a sink spray can
burst if it is installed on the same water line
as the dishwasher. If your sink has one, it is
recommended that the hose be disconnected and
the hole plugged.
• The total length of the drain hose is 76-3/4"
(1950mm). If a hose extension is required, a
drainage hose of equal quality must be used.
• The maximum length must not exceed 157-1/2"
(4000mm). Otherwise, the cleaning process is
negatively inuenced.
NOTICE
You must add a loop at least 28" (71.1cm) above
the oor of the cabinet and above the drain
connection in the drain hose to prevent waste
water from not draining properly and causing either
poor washing results or a bad odor.
