Step 4: Verify Water Supply Requirements; Step 5: Verify Electrical Requirements; Step 6: Prepare The Dishwasher - EdgeStar BIDW1802SS Installation Manual

Step 4: Verify Water Supply Requirements

 The water supply line pressure must be between 6 and 145 PSI.
 The water temperature must be between 120ºF (49ºC) and 149ºF (65ºC). This temperature
range provides the best washing results and shortest cycle times. Water temperature should
not exceed 149ºF (65ºC) to prevent damage to dishes and dishwasher.
 Ensure the water supply valve is turned off before connecting the water supply line to the
dishwasher
 Seal the water supply line connections using Teflon taper or sealing compound to stop any
water leakage.
 When installing the dishwasher, ensure there is nothing crushing or kinking the drain hose and
be careful not to tear or damage it during the installation process.

Step 5: Verify Electrical Requirements

 The dishwasher must be supplied with 120V, 60Hz, and connected to an individual properly
grounded branch circuit, protected by 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker.
 In the United States, install in accordance with the National Electric Code/State and Municipal
Codes and/or Local Codes
 Use flexible, armored or non-metallic sheathed, copper wire with a grounding wire that meets
the wiring requirements for codes and ordinances.
 Use the strain relief method provided with the wiring junction box or install a UL listed / CSA
certified clamp connector to the wiring junction box. If using conduit, use a UL or CSA certified
conduit connector.

Step 6: Prepare the Dishwasher

Caution:
 Ensure the circuit breaker and water supply valve are turned off before proceeding with the
following steps.
1. Make sure to adjust the height of the leveling legs so they are short as possible to prevent the
legs from breaking while moving the dishwasher to its installation location. Adjust the final
height of the legs just before moving it into place. See Step 7: Level the Dishwasher.
2. Make sure there are no kinks or extreme bends in the drain hose that could restrict water flow.
3. If the countertop is made of wood or a material that is not damaged by drilling, attach the two
installation brackets that were supplied with the dishwasher using the supplied screws (Figure
2-A.) They will be used in Step 9: Secure the Dishwasher.
4. Remove the junction box cover (located at the bottom front right of the dishwasher) using a
screwdriver and install the strain relief (Figure 2-B.) Set the cover aside. It will be used again
in Step 11: Connect the Wiring.
