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 connect-
ing the water line to the dishwasher.
• 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.
