If the cord is not long enough, or if a hard-wire installation
is needed, follow the steps below to complete the
electrical connection.
WARNING!
Before starting this procedure, be sure the power is turned
off at the breaker/fuse box.
4. Connect ground wire to ground connection screw on
the bottom.
NOTE:
When doing a hard-wire installation, you must remove the
supplied power cord.
TESTING FOR LEAKS
1. Turn on the water supply and check for leaks.
2. Turn the power on at breaker/fuse box and test the
dishwasher operation by running a Rinse & Hold cycle.
(This should take about six minutes.)
3. Turn off the electrical power and check for leaks under
the dishwasher and sink.
4. Make sure that no kinks have developed in the drain
lines.
If there are no leaks and the dishwasher seems to be
working properly, continue with the installation.
In order to prevent heat damage to the inlet valve, all
solder connections must be made before the water supply
line is connected.
Flush the water supply line prior to connecting it to the
water fill tube.
The unit has a float switch in the base pan to protect
against flooding. If the inlet valve connection is not seated
properly, water may leak into the base pan and activate
the float switch.
Water connection should be carried out by a qualified
professional. It is important that the water supply line and
the shut-off valve have a sufficient flow volume. At least 3
gallons (12 liters) per minute must be able to pass through
the line. Connect the machine using the accompanying
supply hose. Water pressure should be 4.2-140 PSI. There
should be a shut off valve on the water pipe.
If the pipes are newly installed, it may be wise to flush them
through so that any debris is washed away. Otherwise,
debris can clog the filter in the machine’s water intake
and cut off the water supply.
Only use the inlet hose supplied with the machine. Do not
reuse old or other loose inlet hoses.
NOTE:
Be sure to run the PEX tubing through the hole leading
to the sink compartment before moving the dishwasher
into position.
1. Connect supply cable with
a UL-listed strain relief
bushing (if nonmetallic
cable is to be used).
2. Connect branch circuit white
lead to N lead on filter.
3. Connect branch circuit black
lead to L lead on filter.
