•Install the hot water line, using no less than 3/8” O.D. copper tubing or 1/2” O.D. plastic tubing.

•The water line must be long enough to form a smooth natural loop with no sharp bends or kinks between the cutout entry and fill valve location, centered at the front of the dishwasher.

•Adjust the water heater to deliver 120°F min. water temperature.

•The water pressure of the hot water supply line must be 20 to 120 psi.
