GE Monogram Built-In Dishwashers - Manuel (Page 7)

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 an additional
1-1/2" diameter hole may be cut to accommodate
the water line. If a power cord with plug is used, the
water line must not pass through the 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 water connection is on the bottom 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.
Installation Instructions

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.
CAUTION
Do not remove wood base until you are ready to install
the dishwasher. The dishwasher will tip over when the
door is opened if the wood base is removed.
