BEFORE INSTALLATION
Do not use the dishwasher until it is correctly installed. Do not push
down on the door when it is open. Do not place excessive weight on
the open door.
WARNING
• In addition to these instructions, the dishwasher shall be installed in accordance with
all local codes, or in absence of a local code:
- In the United States, with the National Electric Code ANSI/NPA70- latest
edition.
- In Canada, with the Canadian Electric Code C22.1-latest edition/ Provincial
and Municipal codes and/or local codes.
• Only connect the dishwasher to the power supply when all installation and
plumbing work is complete. Before installation or service, disconnect the power
supply to the work area by unplugging the unit, “tripping” the circuit breaker, or
removing the fuse.
WATER CONNECTION SAFETY
• Make sure to use a new water supply line. Old lines are susceptible to breakage
because they become hardened and may cause property damage due to a water
leakage.
• The dishwasher must be connected to a hot water supply with a temperature
between 120°F and 149°F. This temperature range provides the best washing result
and shortest cycle time. Temperature should not exceed 149°F to prevent damage
to dishes.
• Ensure that the water supplied to the dishwasher does not freeze. Frozen water can
damage the hoses, valves, pump, or other components.
• Do not use plastic tubing. Plastic tubing can deteriorate over time and cause a
leak inside the tube fitting. We strongly recommend using copper tubing with a
compression fitting or a flexible stainless steel braided hot water supply line.
• Ensure that there are no visible water leaks during and after the first use of the
appliance.
• To avoid risk of injury, always use caution when opening the door during or
following a wash cycle, as hot water or steam may escape.
