CONNECTIONS
INSTALLING THE TIP GUARDS
(OPTIONAL)
When it is not possible to fasten the dishwasher to the
cabinet, you should install tip guards to prevent the
machine from tipping when the door is opened. The tip
guards can be attached either to the floor or the wall.
The tip guards should be mounted behind the machine,
19" (483 mm) apart (measuring center to center) and
18-1/2" (470 mm) from the front of the machine. (Note:
This measurement could vary, depending on the
thickness of the custom panel, if any.)
Rear
We recommend that you install tip
guards when it isn't possible to fasten
the dishwasher to the cabinet.
After determining where the water supply line will enter
under the sink, drill a 1-1/2" to 2" (38 mm to 50 mm)
access hole and run the line to the approximate inlet
valve location shown in the figure below. The water line
inlet valve is on the right rear of the machine.
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.
It is important that the water supply line and the shut-off
valve have a sufficient flow volume. At last 3 gallons (12
liters) per minute must be able to pass through the
line. The water pressure should be 18-176 psi.
WARNING!
In order to prevent heat damage to the inlet valve, all
solder connections must be made before the water
line is connected to the dishwasher.
