Hot Water Supply
The hot water heater should be set to deliver approximately
120° F (49° C) water to the dishwasher. Water that is too
hot can cause some detergents to lose effectiveness. Lower
water temperatures will increase run times. The hot water
supply pressure must be between 15 - 145 psi (1 - 10 bar).
IMPORTANT NOTES:
· If using a solder joint instead of a compression fitting, be
sure to make all solder connections before connecting the
water supply line to the dishwasher.
· Make sure there are no sharp bends or kinks in the water
line that might restrict water flow.
· Always use the appropriate seal when making plumbing
connections.
· Before connecting the water supply line to the dishwasher,
flush the incoming water line for approximately 5 minutes
to clear any foreign material.
· Turn on the water supply and check for leaks after
connections are made.
Water Supply Shut Off Valve
Install an easily accessible shut-off valve (not supplied) in
the hot water supply line, as shown in Figure 8. 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 3 /
4
″
(76 x 45mm) opening through the cabinet to pass the dish-
washer water supply line through toward the shut off valve.
Method B - To permanently connect to household or
field wiring:
1. Remove the dishwasher electrical supply junction box
(Part L) cover and connect to the power supply cord from
the house installation. See Figure 6.
2. Remove 2″ to 3″ (51 - 76mm) of the outer casing of the
household or field supply wiring as shown in Figure 7.
Remove 3 /
8
″ to 1 /
2
″ (10 - 13mm) of the insulation from each
wire as shown in Figure 7.
3. Insert the bare copper or green wire(ground) to the
“G” ground connection “ “ of the terminal block
and securely tighten the terminal block screw (see
Figure 6).
4. Insert the white (neutral) wire to the “N” connection of
the terminal block and securely tighten the terminal block
screw.
5. Insert the black(hot) wire to the “L” connection of the ter-
minal block and securely tighten the terminal block screw.
6. Check all electrical connections to make sure they are
secure and then attach the junction box cover with the 4
screws.
Avoid Electrical Shock Hazard
To avoid possible injury or property damage,
care should be exercised when the dishwasher is
installed or removed to reduce the likelihood of
damage to the power cord.
WARNING
Temperatures required for soldering and sweating
will damage the dishwasher. If plumbing lines
are to be soldered or sweated, keep the heat
source at least 6 inches (152.4 mm) away from
the dishwasher.
Avoid Scald Hazard
Do not perform any work on a charged hot water
line. Serious injury could result. Only qualified
plumbers should perform plumbing work. Do not
attempt any work on the dishwasher hot water
supply plumbing until you are certain the hot water
supply is shut off.
