Temperatures required for soldering and sweating will damage the dishwasher’s water inlet valve.
If plumbing lines are to be soldered or sweated, keep the heat source at least 6 inches (152.4 mm) away from the dishwasher’s water inlet valve.
•If using a solder joint instead of a compression fitting, be sure to make all solder connections before connecting the water line to the dishwasher.
•Make certain there are no sharp bends or kinks in the water line that might restrict water flow.
•Be sure to use pipe thread compound or Teflon brand tape to seal the connection when required.
•Before connecting the copper hot water supply line to the dishwasher, flush it with hot water to clear any foreign material.
•Turn on the water supply to check for leaks after making connections.
NOTE: Do not use pipe sealant on compression fittings.

Grounding Instructions
The dishwasher must be properly grounded before operating. This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher. Make sure that the dishwasher is connected to a suitable ground in compliance with all local codes or, in the absence of a local code, with the NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the United States or the CANADIAN ELECTRIC CODE
1Retrieve the strain relief plate, and install a strain relief (not supplied) into the opening on the strain
relief plate. NOTE: Orient the strain relief as shown in Figure 30.
2Pass the electrical supply cable through the strain relief, as shown in Figure 31. Make sure the outer wire casing extends about 1/2” (13mm) through the
strain relief.
3Tighten the strain relief screws.
4Slide the strain relief plate into the junction box, and secure it to the junction box with the supplied screw.
