PLUMBING PREPARATION
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.
Temperatures required for soldering and sweating
will damage the dishwasher's base and 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 base and
water inlet valve.
Hot Water Supply
The hot water heater should be set to deliver
approximately 120 ° F (49 ° C) water to the dishwasher.
Water that is too hot can cause some detergents to lose
effectiveness. Lower water temperatures will increase run
times. The hot water supply pressure must be between
15 - 145 psi (1 - 10 bars).
Hot Water Supply Plumbing
install an easily accessible shut-off valve (not supplied) in
the hot water supply line, as shown in Figure 6. All solder
connections must be made before the water line is
connected to the dishwasher's water inlet valve. Water
may also be supplied to the dishwasher by using a
braided hose line. Check with your local plumbing supply
sources for the proper hose and 90 ° elbow fitting.
NOTE: Regardless of where the hot water supply line
enters the enclosure, position the line 14" (355mm) from
the enclosure's left side, as shown in Figure 6.
NOTE: Decide whether braided hose or copper tubing will
be used for the hot water supply plumbing, and purchase
the correct type of hot water supply shut-off valve, 90 °
elbow, and necessary fittings for the hot water supply
plumbing.
