Design and function
3.7 Water inlet - condensation system
3.7.1 Water inlet system
The water inlet system lies next to the left side of the tub, filling water into the bottom
left side of the tub. A vent above the water inlet aids water flow and allows condensa-
tion to exit during drying.

There are two hoses connected to it, the water inlet hose (from the water inlet valve)
and drain hose. The total drain hose length is 92" (~ 7.67'), including the portion inside
the dishwasher.
3.7.2 Water valve
Inlet valves have a flow limiter to keep the incoming water pressure to specified levels,
regardless of the water supply pressure.
