PLUMBING PREPARATION
WARNING
Avoid Scald Hazard
Do not perform any work on a charged hot water line. Serious injury could result. Only qualified 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 off.
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).
Hot Water Supply Plumbing
Install an easily accessible shut-off valve (not supplied) in the hot water supply line, as shown in Figure 6. All solder connections must be made before the water line is connected to the dishwasher’s water inlet valve. Water may also be supplied to the dishwasher by using a stainless steel braided hose approved for dishwasher use. Check with your local plumbing supply sources for the proper hose and 90° elbow fitting.
NOTE: Regardless of where the hot water supply line enters the enclosure, position the line 14” (356mm) from the enclosure’s left side, as shown in Figure 6.
NOTE: Decide whether stainless steel braided hose approved for dishwasher use or copper tubing will be used for the hot water supply plumbing, and purchase the correct type of hot water supply shut-off valve, 90° elbow, and necessary fittings for the hot water supply plumbing.

Installing the Countertop Mounting Brackets
Before installing the supplied countertop mounting brackets, decide which method of securing the dishwasher into its enclosure will be used. Once the mounting brackets are installed on the dishwasher, removing them is difficult and will damage the mounting brackets and the dishwasher.
The dishwasher can be secured into its enclosure in two ways:
1Top Mount is used for countertops made of wood or other materials that can easily drilled. Orient the mounting brackets as shown in Figure 10, and position the two small tabs on the mounting brackets over the two slots on the dishwasher’s front corners.
Push the mounting brackets down firmly to insert the tabs into the slots.
2Side Mount is used for countertops made of marble, granite, or other very hard materials that cannot be easily drilled. Bend the mounting brackets along the small holes and in the same direction as the two small tabs. Orient the mounting brackets as shown in Figure 11, and position the two small tabs on the mounting brackets over the two slots on the dishwasher’s front corners. Push the mounting brackets down firmly to insert the tabs into the slots.
WARNING
AvoidTip Over Hazard
Do not use the dishwasher until it is completely installed.When opening the door on an uninstalled dishwasher, carefully open the door while supporting the rear of the unit. Failure to follow this warning can result in serious injury.
