Hot Water Supply
The hot water heater should be set to deliver approximately
120° F (49° C)water to the dishwasher. Water that istoo hot
can cause some detergents to lose effectiveness. Lower water
temperatures will increase run times. The hot water supply
pressure must be between 15- 145 psi (1- 10bar).
IM PORTANT NOTES:
* If using a solder joint instead of a compression fitting, 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 inthe water
line that might restrict water flow.
. Always use the appropriate seal when making plumbing
connections.
. Before connecting the water supply line to the dish-
washer, flush 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.
