Installation Preparation–Hot Water Supply
PREPARE HOT WATER SUPPLY
Hot Water Line
• The line may enter from either side, rear, or floor
within the shaded area shown in Figure F.
• The line may pass through the same hole as the
electrical cable and drain hose, or cut an additional
1-1/2" diameter hole to accommodate the water
line. If a power cord with plug is used, the water line
must not pass through the power cord hole.
Figure F
Water Line Connection
• Turn off the water supply.
• Install a hand shut-off valve in an accessible
location, such as under the sink. (Optional, but
strongly recommended and may be required by
local codes.)
• The water connection is on the left side of the
dishwasher. Install the hot water inlet line, using
3/8" or larger copper tubing. Route the line as
shown in Figure F and extend forward at least 19"
from rear wall.
• Adjust the water heater to deliver water between
120°F and 150°F.
• Flush water line to clean out debris. Use a bucket
to catch water and debris.
• The hot water supply line pressure must be
between 20 and 120 PSI.
