Installation Preparation–Hot Water Supply
PREPARE HOT WATER SUPPLY
Hot Water Line
• The line may enter from either side, rear, or floor within the
shaded area shown in Figure F.
• The line may pass through the same hole as the electrical
cable and drain hose, or an additional 1-1/2" diameter hole
may be cut to accommodate the water line. If a power cord
with plug is used, the water line must not pass through the
power cord hole.
Figure F
Water Line Connection
• Turn off the water supply.
• Install a hand shut-off valve in an accessible location, such
as under the sink. (Optional, but strongly recommended and
may be required by local codes.)
• The water connection is on the bottom left side of the
dishwasher. Install the hot water inlet line, using 3/8" or larger
copper tubing. Route the line as shown in Figure F and extend
forward at least 19" from rear wall.
• Adjust the water heater to deliver water between 120°F and
150°F.
• Flush water line to clean out debris. Use a bucket to catch
water and debris.
• The hot water supply line pressure must be
between 20 and 120 PSI.
