PLUMBING PREPARATION

WARNING: SCALD HAZARD -
Serious injury could result if work is
performed on a charged hot water line.
B
Only qualified plumbers should perform
plumbing work. Do not attempt any work on
the dishwasher hot water supply plumbing
14"
until you are certain the hot water supply is
(355mm)
shut off.
A
CAUTION: Temperatures required for soldering
and sweating will damage the dishwasher's
base and water inlet valve. If plumbing lines are
to be soldered or sweated, keep the heat source
Figure 7
at least 6 inches (152.4 mm) away from the
dishwasher's base and water inlet valve.
Hot Water Supply
The hot water heater should be set to deliver ap-
proximately 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 bars).
Hot Water Supply Plumbing
Install an easily accessible shut-off valve (not
supplied) in the hot water supply line, as shown in
Figure 7, letter B.
All solder connections must be made before the
water line is connected to the dishwasher's water
inlet valve. Water may also be supplied to the
dishwasher by using a braided hose line. Check
with your local plumbing supply sources for the
proper hose and 90° elbow fitting.
NOTE: Regardless of where the hot water supply
line enters the enclosure (following the guidelines on
page 7), position the line 14" (355mm) from the
enclosure's left side, as shown in Figure 7, letter A.
NOTE: Decide whether braided hose or copper
tubing will be used for the hot water supply
plumbing, and purchase the correct type of hot
water supply shut-off valve, 90° elbow, and
necessary fittings for the hot water supply plumbing.
