cause the dishwasher to tip over and result in serious
injury.
Before installing the "L"-shaped supplied countertop
mounting brackets (select models), decide which
method will be used to secure the dishwasher into its
opening. Once these mounting brackets are installed
on the dishwasher, removing them is difficult and will
damage the mounting brackets and the dishwasher.
in some conditions, hydrogen gas can form in a hot
water system that has not been used for weeks.
Hydrogen gas is explosive.
Before filling a dishwasher from a system that has
been off for weeks, run the water from a nearby faucet
in a well ventilated area until there is no sound or evi-
dence of gas.
Temperatures required for soldering and sweating will
damage the dishwasher's base and water inlet valve.
If plumbing lines are to be soldered or sweated, keep
the heat source at least 6 inches (152.4 mm) away
from the dishwasher's base and water inlet valve.

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 effectiveness. 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 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 in the water
line that might restrict water flow.
Always use the appropriate seal when making plumbing
connections.
Before connecting the water supply line to the dishwasher,
flush the incoming water line for approximately 5 minutes
to clear any foreign material.

Water Supply Shut Off Valve
Install an easily accessible shut-off valve (not supplied) in
the hot water supply line, as shown in Figure 7. All solder
connections must be made before the water line is connected
to 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 fitting 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 45mm) opening through the cabinet to pass the dish-
washer water supply line through toward the shut off valve.
Figure 7
The dishwasher drain hose may be connected to the house-
hold or field drain plumbing in one of four ways. You will need
a 1t/4'' diameter hole in order to pass the drain hose through
the cabinet.
1 Directly to the undersink dishwasher drain connection, as
shown in Figure 8.
2 Directly to a disposer dishwasher drain connection, as
shown in Figure 9.
3 To the undersink dishwasher drain connection through an
air gap, as shown in Figure 10.
4 To a disposer dishwasher drain connection through an air
gap, as shown on Figure 11.
iMPORTANT NOTES:
If local ordinance require an air gap, install it according
to the manufacturer's instructions.
If the dishwasher drain hose is to be connected to a
disposer dishwasher drain connection, remove the plug
from the disposer's dishwasher drain connection.
The dishwasher drain hose must have one place along
its length that is securely attached 20 inches above the
cabinet floor.
The drain hose length can be extended if necessary. The
maximum length of the drain hose, including the hose
leading to the air gap, is 150 inches.
To connect the hot water supply:
1. Assemble the water supply adaptor fitting from the
parts bag onto the dishwasher water supply hose. This
connection does not require Teflon brand tape.
2. Pass the dishwasher water supply line with attached
adaptor through the opening toward the water shut off
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 floor as shown in Figure 7.
4. After all connections are made, turn on the hot water and
check for leaks.
