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 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 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 qualied 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. If plumbing lines are to be soldered or sweated, keep the heat source at least 6 inches (152.4 mm) away from
