Installation Instructions
PREPARE 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 power cord with plug
is used, water line must not pass through power cord hole.

Water Line Connection
• Turn off the water supply.
• Install a hand shut-off valve in an accessible location, such
as under the sink. (Optional, but strongly recommended and
may be required by local codes.)

the hot water inlet line, using no less than 3/8" copper tubing.
Route the line as shown in Figure F and extend forward at
least 19" from rear wall.
• Adjust water heater to deliver water at 120°F to 150°F at the
dishwasher.
