Connection to the water supply

￿Installation, repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous.

￿Do not drink water from the dishwasher!

The dishwasher can heat its own water to the temperature required by the wash program. This allows for connection of the machine to either a hot (max. 140°F / 60°C) or cold water source.

For lowest energy consumption and fastest possible wash times connect the dishwasher to a hot water source. All programs use hot water in the rinse cycles.

The inlet hose is approximately 5 ft. (1.5 m) long.

The water inlet hose comes equipped with an inlet hose ending with a 3/8" female compression fitting. This can be directly connected to a water supply valve or to an appropriate coupling.

If not connected directly to a water supply valve, an appropriate adapter (not included) is required.

Water pressure: Must be between 4.5 - 145 psi (0.3 - 10 bar).

If the water pressure if lower, a "Water Intake" notification will be shown. See "Frequently Asked Questions" for more information.

If the water pressure is higher than shown, a pressure reducing valve must be used.

Ensure that the water connection is secure after the first use.

￿To prevent damage to the dishwasher, it must only be connected to a fully vented drainage system.

￿Do not cut the intake hose. If the hose is cut, the dishwasher will not work. There will be a water leak. If the hose is too long, coil it neatly and place it behind or under the machine.
