Connecting The Water Line; Preparing The Water Connection - Viking Range 3 Series Installation Manual

9. CONNECTING THE WATER LINE

9.1 PREPARING THE WATER CONNECTION

Install an easily accessible shut-off valve (not supplied) in the water supply line. All solder connections
must be made before the water line is connected to the dishwasher's water inlet valve. Water can also be
supplied to the dishwasher by using a flexible braided hose line.
Check with your plumbing supply sources for the proper hose and elbow and necessary fittings for the
water supply line. This material is not supplied, and must be purchased separately.

WARNING
Installation should be performed by a qualified installer. Work by unqualified persons
could be dangerous and may void the warranty.
If the dishwasher is installed in a location that experiences freezing temperatures (e.g.
in a vacation home, cabin etc.), you must drain all the water from the dishwasher's
interior. Water system ruptures that occur as a result of freezing are not covered by
warranty.
9.1.1 WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
Water supply may be connected to the dishwasher in one of two ways:
•
With metal braided hose.
• With copper tubing.
CAUTION
• Hot water supply line: Use minimum 3/8" O.D. copper tubing or metal braided dishwasher supply line.
• Temperatures required for soldering and sweating will damage the dishwasher's water inlet valve
so if any such operation is needed, keep the heat source min. 77/8" (200 mm) away from the
dishwasher's water inlet valve.
•
There should not be any sharp bends in the water line that may restrict the water flow.
• Teflon tape or pipe tread compound must be used for sealing the connection. Before connecting the
copper water supply line to the dishwasher, flush it with hot water to clear any foreign material.
