HOT WATER CONNECTION
WARNING: SCALD HAZARD - Working on a charged hot water line could result in serious injury or death. Do not attempt any work on the dishwasher hot water supply plumbing until you are certain the hot water supply is shut off.
NOTE: Make certain that the correct 90° elbow fitting (not supplied) for the hot water supply line has been purchased and installed on the dishwasher as described in the Dishwasher Preparation section of this manual.
The hot water supply line may be connected to the dishwasher in one of two ways:
1. With braided hose
2. With copper tubing
Braided Hose
After connections are made turn on the hot water supply to check for leaks.
Copper Tubing
CAUTION: Temperatures required for soldering and sweating will damage the dishwasher’s water inlet valve. If plumbing lines are to be soldered or sweated, keep the heat source at least 6 inches (152.4 mm) away from the dishwasher’s water inlet valve.
• If using a solder joint instead of a compression fitting, be sure to make all solder connections before connecting the water line to the dish- washer.
• Make certain there are no sharp bends or kinks in the water line that might restrict water flow.
• Be sure to use pipe thread compound or Teflon tape to seal the connection when required.
• Before connecting the copper hot water supply line to the dishwasher, flush it with hot water to clear any foreign material.
• Turn on the water supply to check for leaks after making connections.
