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.)

•Water connection is on the left side of the dishwasher. Install 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.

•Flush water line to clean out debris.

•The hot water supply line pressure must be 20-120 PSI.

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.
