11. Make the plumbing
connections
An air gap is built into the water inlet
system to prevent potable water from
mixing with waste water.
The dishwasher can heat its own water
to the temperatures required by the
wash program. This allows the option of
connecting the machine to either a hot
or cold water source.
^
For lowest energy consumption con
-
nect the dishwasher to a cold water
source.
^ For fastest possible wash times, with
slightly higher energy consumption,
connect the dishwasher to a hot
water source.
Hot water supply specifications:
Recommended temperature:
120 °F (49 °C), max 140 °F (60 °C)
Water pressure:
Must be between 5 - 145 psi
(0.3 -10 bar).
If the water pressure is too low, the "In
-
take/Drain" or "Intake" indicator may
flash (see Operating Instructions/ "Fre
-
quently asked questions").
If the water pressure is too high, a pres
-
sure reducer must be installed.
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
" MHT (male hose
thread ends).
Preferred Installation:
The hose assembly should be installed
vertically so the hose exits from the bot
-
tom of the valve box (not as shown).
If this is not possible, it can be installed
horizontally, provided the hose exit re
-
mains beneath the main body of the
valve box (see illustration). The valve
box should also be installed so that it is
at least 10" (24 cm) above the floor (or
base of the cabinet), so that the excess
coiled hose will remain lower than the
valve box at all points.
