Installation Instructions

PREPARE HOT WATER LINE

The line may enter from either side, rear or floor within the shaded area shown in Figure F.

The line may pass through the same hole as the electrical cable and drain hose. Or, cut an additional 1-1/2" dia. hole to accommodate the water line. If power cord with plug is used, water line must not pass through power cord hole.

PREPARE HOT WATER LINE CAUTION:

The hot water supply line pressure must be at least 20 psi. Lower pressures could cause the water valve to leak and cause water damage.
