Preparing the hot water line
• The water connection is on the left side of dishwasher.
• The hot water line may enter the opening from either side, the rear, or the floor within the shaded area.
• The hot water line may pass through the same hole as the electrical and drain hose. Or, you can drill an additional 1.5 in.
(3.81 cm) maximum diameter hole for the hot water line.
• If a power cord with a plug is used, the hot water line may not pass through the same hole as the power cord.
Connecting the water line to the water supply
1
Turn off the water supply.
2
Install a hand shut-off valve in an accessible location, such as under the sink. This is optional, but strongly
recommended, and may be required by local codes.
3
Install the hot water inlet line, using at least 3/8 in. O.D. copper tubing. Route the line as shown in the figure above and
extend it forward at least 18 in. (45.72 cm) from the rear wall of the enclosure.
4
Adjust the water heater to a temperature of 120° F to 150° F (49° C to 65° C).
5
Flush the water line to clean out any debris.
Note:
The hot water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi (138 and 827 kPa).
