Install the Plumbing
Install a valve for the hot water supply line where it is
easily accessible after the dishwasher is installed. The
dishwasher water inlet hose is equipped with a 3/8”
(10mm) compression fitting.
The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi
(138-827 kPa). The household hot water heater must
supply a minimum of 120°F water to the dishwasher
location for best results.
Use the supplied flexible braided water line to connect
between the dishwasher hot water inlet and the hot
water supply valve. Make sure it is long enough to
reach when the unit is removed from the cabinet for
repair.
Planning the Drain
IMPORTANT:
A drain hose is supplied with the product.
Should a longer drain hose be required, use a hose
approved for detergents and high temperature water. The
drain hose supplied with the dishwasher meets an AHAM
DW-1 test standard. Longer drain hoses should not exceed
a total of 12 feet in length.
You must install an air gap in the drain if the drain hose
is connected to household plumbing lower than 20
inches (508 mm) from the floor or if required by local
codes. Plan for the air gap in the sink or countertop
area adjacent to the dishwasher. A section of drain
hose (not provided) needs to be installed from the air
gap to the disposal or waste tee.
If an air gap is not required, the drain hose must be
installed to an inlet or waste tee above the drain trap in
the household plumbing.
The drain hose supplied with the dishwasher should be
connected to a minimum 1/2 inch I.D. drain connection.
If the drain is connected to a disposal, see the disposal
manufacturer’s installation instructions for correct drain
hose mounting techniques.
