STEP 4. CONNECTING ELECTRICITY, WATER, AND DRAIN
2. CONNECT WATER SUPPLY HOSE
WARNING!
Plumbing connections must comply with
applicable sanitary, safety and plumbing codes
in your area.
The machine can be connected to either a hot
(max. 160 °F, 70 °C) or cold water supply. We
recommend a cold water supply. The water
pressure should be 4.2-140 psi.
Connect to cold water...
If you use oil or electricity to heat your home.
Connect to hot water (max 160 °F, 70 °C)...
If you use district heating, solar power, or
geothermal power to heat your home. Choosing
a hot water connection cuts program times and
reduces the dishwasher's electricity consumption.
For service convenience, a shut-off valve (not
supplied) should be installed in the supply line in
an easily accessible location, such as, beneath
the sink.
In order to prevent heat damage to the inlet valve,
all solder connections must be made before the
water supply line is connected.
Flush the water supply line prior to connecting it
to the water fill tube.
The unit has a float switch in the base pan to protect
against flooding. If the inlet valve connection is not
seated properly, water may leak into the base pan
and activate the float switch.
Water connection should be carried out by a
qualified professional. It is important that the water
supply line and the shut-off valve have a sufficient
flow volume. At least 3 gallons (12 liters) per minute
must be able to pass through the line. Connect the
machine using the accompanying supply hose.
Water pressure should be 4.2-140 PSI. There
should be a shut off valve on the water pipe.
Use the supplied O ring and tighten the connection
by hand plus a quarter turn with a wrench.
If the pipes are newly installed, it may be wise
to flush them so that any debris is washed
away. Otherwise, debris can clog the filter in the
machine's water intake and cut off the water supply.
Only use the inlet hose supplied with the machine.
Do not reuse old or other loose inlet hoses.
3. CONNECT THE PLUG
Ensure that the power outlet is within the range of
the power cable. Do not use an extension cord!
The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded
outlet.
