Installation Preparation–Hot Water Supply
PREPARE HOT WATER SUPPLY
Hot Water Line
• The line may enter from either side, rear, or floor
within the shaded area shown in Figure F.
• The line may pass through the same hole as the
electrical cable and drain hose, or cut an additional
1-1/2" diameter hole to accommodate the water
line. If a power cord with plug is used, the water line
must not pass through the power cord hole.
Figure F
Water Line Connection
• Turn off the water supply.
• Install a hand shut-off valve in an accessible
location. (Optional, but strongly recommended and
may be required by local codes.)
• The water connection is on the left side of the
dishwasher. Install the hot water inlet line, using
3/8" or larger copper tubing. Route the line as
shown in Figure F and extend forward at least 19"
from rear wall.
• Adjust the water heater to deliver water between
120°F and 150°F.
• Flush water line to clean out debris. Use a bucket
to catch water and debris.
• The hot water supply line pressure must be
between 20 and 120 PSI.

CAUTION
The hot water supply line pressure must be at least 20 PSI.
Lower pressures could cause the water valve to leak and
cause water damage.
Sink Utility Connections
Sink faucet hot and cold water lines and the sink
drain line must run above and adjacent to the
dishwasher, not behind it. Refer to Areas A and C
in Figure A on page 3 and Figure F1 below. This is
necessary to provide clearance for the dishwasher
when it is installed in the cabinet. Utility lines routed
directly behind the dishwasher will interfere with
placement of the dishwasher in the cabinet and
cause it to extend beyond the adjacent cabinets.
Figure F1 illustrates an installation using a double
bowl sink, a disposer and a high drain loop.
Note:
All utility lines are above, below or adjacent to
the dishwasher. None are routed behind it.
