WARNING: SCALD HAZARD - Working
on a charged hot water line could result in
serious injury or death. Do not attempt any
work on the dishwasher hot water supply
plumbing until you are certain the hot water
supply is shut off.
NOTE:
Make certain that the correct 90° elbow
fitting (not supplied) for the hot water supply line has
been purchased and installed on the dishwasher as
described in the Dishwasher Preparation section of
this manual.
The hot water supply line may be connected to the
dishwasher in one of two ways:
1. With braided hose
2. With copper tubing
Braided Hose
After connections are made turn on the hot water
supply to check for leaks.
Copper Tubing
CAUTION
:
Temperatures required for soldering
and sweating will damage the dishwasher’s water
inlet valve. If plumbing lines are to be soldered or
sweated, keep the heat source at least 6 inches
(152.4 mm) away from the dishwasher’s water inlet
valve.
• If using a solder joint instead of a compression
fitting,
be sure to make all solder connections
before connecting the water line to the dish-
washer.
• Make certain there are no sharp bends or kinks in
the water line that might restrict water flow.
• Be sure to use pipe thread compound or Teflon
tape to seal the connection when required.
• Before connecting the copper hot water supply
line to the dishwasher, flush it with hot water to
clear any foreign material.
• Turn on the water supply to check for leaks after
making connections.
