Water Line Connection

Route the water pipe or tubing as shown (see Figure 14), straight forward from the back to the inlet valve.

Pipe or tubing must not be kinked. It must be free of scales, chips, lubricants, etc. before it is connected to the inlet valve. Flush the water line before connecting it to the valve.

If the water valve clogs with foreign material, turn off the water supply, then remove the four (4) screws at the inlet end of the valve for access to the filter screen.

NOTE:

Do not solder too close to the water valve. Overheating of the valve will damage plastic parts in the valve.

Use care that no sealer, dirt, or foreign material can enter valve.

The furnished drain hose must not be used as a water supply line.

Be sure the dishwasher is placed where the water valve is protected from freezing temperatures. If the valve freezes, flooding may occur.

Install accessible in-line shutoff valve.

This model is particularly ideal for basements, laundry rooms, and other areas prone to dampness and excessive moisture.

One of the standout features of the Whirlpool RUD0800EB is its high-performance dehumidification capability, which removes up to 70 pints of moisture per day.
