Plumbing Preparation
Water Supply Shut Off Valve
Install an easily accessible shut-off valve (not supplied) in
the hot water supply line, as shown in Figure 7. All solder
connections must be made before the water line is
connected to the dishwasher.
Connecting the Hot Water Supply
There are two plastic corrugated hoses that exit the back
of the dishwasher. The larger hose, with the brass fitting
on the end, is the water supply hose to the dishwasher
(the other hose is the dishwasher drain hose). You will
need a 3” x 1

” (76 x 45mm) opening through the cabinet
to pass the dishwasher water supply line through toward
the shut off valve.
To connect the hot water supply:
1. Assemble the water supply adaptor fitting from the
parts bag onto the dishwasher water supply hose (see
Figure 7). This connection does not require Teflon
brand tape.
2. Pass the dishwasher water supply line with attached
adaptor through the opening toward the water shut off
valve. Take care not to allow the hose to kink or twist
behind the dishwasher.
3. Connect the dishwasher water supply line with adaptor
to the water shut off valve. You will need to use an
approved dishwasher water supply line with the correct
fittings for this connection. Always use the appropriate
seal when making plumbing connections.
NOTE:
The end of the dishwasher water inlet hose is
heavy and will need to be supported. It is best to lay
the end on the cabinet floor as shown in Figure 7.
4. After all connections are made, turn on the hot water
and check for leaks.
