Plumbing Preparation
INLET WATER CONNECTIONS
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. If plumbing lines are
to be soldered or sweated, keep the heat
source at least 6 inches (152.4 mm) away from
the dishwasher.
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 al! solder connections before connect-
ing 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 plumb-
ing connections,
Before connecting the water supply _ineto the dish-
washer, flush it to clear any foreign material.
Turn on the water supply and check for leaks after
connections are made,
Do not use pipe sealant on compression fittings.

the hot water supply line, as shown in Figure 7. Atl solder
connections must be made before the water line is
connected to the dishwasher.
Connecting the HotWater 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 dishwasher water supply line through toward
the shut off valve.
To connect the hot water supply:
1. Assemble the water supply adaptor fitting from the
parts bag onto the dishwasher water supply hose (see
Figure 7), 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.
