braided hose.
• The water supply line (3/8” copper tubing or flexible braided
hose) may enter from either side, rear or floor within the
shaded area shown in Figure F.
• The water supply line may pass through the same hole as the
electrical cable and drain hose. Or, cut an additional 1-1/2"
diameter hole to accommodate the water line. If power cord
with plug is used, water line must not pass through power
cord hole.

Water Line Connection

• If using a flexible braided supply hose, label the hose with the
installation date to use as reference. Flexible braided hoses
should be replaced in 5 years.
• 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
or a flexible braided hose. Route the line as shown in Figure F
and extend forward at least 19" from rear wall.
• Adjust water heater for 120°F to 140°F temperature.
• Flush water line to clean out debris.
• The hot water supply line pressure must be 20-120 PSI.
