Installation Preparation

PREPARE HOT WATER LINE

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

•The water line may pass through the same hole as the electrical cable and drain hose. Or, cut an additional 1-1/2" dia. hole to admit the line. If a power cord with plug is used, it must pass through a separate hole.

Water Line Connection

•Turn off the water supply.

•Install a hand shut-off valve in an accessible loca- tion, such as under the sink. (Optional, but strongly recommended and may be required by local codes.)

•The hot water line should be 3/8” O.D. copper tubing or 1/2” O.D. plastic tubing. The line must extend forward at least 30" from the left side or 40" from the rear wall.

•The water line must be long enough to form a smooth natural loop with no sharp bends or kinks between the cutout entry.
