WARNING
Inlet Water Connections
Hot Water Supply
The hot water heater should be set to deliver approximately
120° F (49° C) water to the dishwasher. Water that is too
hot can cause some detergents to lose eectiveness. Lower
water temperatures will increase run times. The hot water
supply pressure must be between 15 - 145 psi (1 - 10 bar).
IMPORTANT NOTES:
· If using a solder joint instead of a compression tting, be
sure to make all solder connections before connecting the
water supply line to the dishwasher.
· Make sure there are no sharp bends or kinks in the water
line that might restrict water ow.
· Always use the appropriate seal when making plumbing
connections.
· Before connecting the water supply line to the dishwasher,
ush the incoming water line for approximately 5 minutes
to clear any foreign material.
· Turn on the water supply and check for leaks after
connections are made.
Avoid Scald Hazard!
Do not perform any work on a charged hot water
line. Serious injury could result. Only qualied
plumbers should perform plumbing work. Do not
attempt any work on the dishwasher hot water
supply plumbing until you are certain the hot water
supply is shut o.
Temperatures required for soldering and sweating
will damage the dishwasher. If plumbing lines
are to be soldered or sweated, keep the heat
source at least 6 inches (152.4 mm) away from
the dishwasher.
Connecting the Hot Water Supply
There are two plastic corrugated hoses that exit the back of
the dishwasher. The larger hose, with the brass tting on the
end, is the water supply hose to the dishwasher (the other
hose is the dishwasher drain hose). You will need a 3″ x 13/4″
(76 x 45 mm) opening through the cabinet to pass the dish-
washer water supply line through toward the shut o valve.
Figure 7
To connect the hot water supply:
1. Assemble the water supply adaptor tting (H) from the
parts bag onto the dishwasher water supply hose. This
connection does not require Teon brand tape.
2. Pass the dishwasher water supply line with attached
adaptor through the opening toward the water shut o
valve. Take care not to allow the hose to kink or twist
behind the dishwasher.
3. Connect the dishwasher water supply line with adaptor to
the water shut off valve. You will need to use an approved
dishwasher water supply line with the correct fittings for
this connection. Always use the appropriate seal when
making plumbing connections.
NOTE: The end of the dishwasher water inlet hose is
heavy and will need to be supported. It is best to lay the
end on the cabinet oor as shown in Figure 7.
4. After all connections are made, turn on the hot water and
check for leaks.
