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 an additional 1-1/2" diameter hole 
may be cut 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 bottom 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.
