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.
Use the supplied O ring and tighten the connection by
hand plus a quarter turn with a wrench.
NOTE:
Be sure to run the PEX tubing through the hole to
sink compartment before moving the dishwasher into
position.
