HOT WATER CONNECTION
Scald Hazard
To avoid being scalded, do not perform any work
on a charged hot water line. Serious injury could
result. Only qualified plumbers should perform
plumbing work. Do not attempt any work on the
dishwasher hot water supply plumbing until you
are certain the hot water supply is shut off.
NOTE: Make certain that the correct 90 ° elbow fitting (not
supplied) for the hot water supply line has been pur-
chased and installed on the dishwasher as described in
the Dishwasher Preparation section of this manual.
The hot water supply line may be connected to the
dishwasher in one of two ways:
1 With braided hose.
2 With copper tubing.
Braided Dishwasher Supply Hose
After connections are made turn on the hot water supply
to check for leaks.
NOTE: Braided dishwasher supply hoses can also be
used to extend pre-existing dishwasher water supply
lines.
Copper Tubing
Temperatures required for soldering and 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 ram)
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
connecting 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.
NOTE: Do not use pipe sealant on compression fittings.
