Plumbing
It is the responsibility and obligation of the customer to ensure that the electrical and plumbing installation is carried out by a qualified installer in compliance with national and local codes and ordinances.
All dishwashers that carry the following blue and white sticker are designed to shut off the water and drain the wash chamber in the rare event of an internal water valve failure.
In order for this function to be active, the door must be shut, the machine must be “ON”, and the Program knob must be in the “STOP” position.
Hot water supply specifications:
Recommended temperature: 120°F (49°C)
Maximum temperature: 140°F (60°C)
Water pressure: 14.5 - 145 psi (0.3 - 10 bar)
An air gap is built into the water inlet system to prevent potable water mixing with waste water.
Hot water connection.
New plumbing:
The water inlet hose comes equipped with a 3/4" female hose thread connec- tor. This can be directly connected to a shut off valve with 3/4" male hose thread ends.
It is preferable that the hose assem- bly be installed vertically so the hose exits from the bottom of the valve box.
If this is not possible, it can be installed hoizontally, provided the hose exit re- mains beneath the main body of the box (see illustration). (The “lightning bolt” should be above the “arrow” when the installation is complete).The valve box should also be installed so that it is at least 8" (24 cm) above the floor (or base of the cabinet), and so the excess coiled hose will remain lower than the box at all points.
A 2" x 4" (60 x 115 mm) cutout in either the side or bottom of the cabinet adjoin- ing the dishwasher is necessary if the valve box needs to be passed through.
