Plumbing

It is the responsibility and obligation
of the customer to ensure that the
electrical and plumbing installation
is carried out by a qualified installer
in compliance with national and
local codes and ordinances.
All dishwashers that carry the following
blue and white sticker are designed to
shut off the water and drain the wash
chamber in the rare event of an internal
water valve failure.
In order for this function to be active,
the door must be tightly shut, the
"ON/OFF" button must be de-
pressed, and the program selector
knob must be in the "End" position.
Hot water supply specifications:
Recommended temperature: 120°F
Maximum temperature: 140°F (60°C)
Water pressure: 14.5 - 145 psi
An air gap is built into the water inlet
system to prevent potable water from
mixing with waste water.

Hot water connection.
New plumbing:
The water inlet hose comes equipped
with a 3/4" female hose thread connec-
tor. This can be directly connected to a
shut off valve with 3/4" male hose
thread ends.
It is preferable that the hose assembly
be installed vertically so the hose
exits from the bottom of the valve box.
If this is not possible, it can be installed
horizontally, provided the hose exit re-
mains beneath the main body of the box
(see illustration). (The "lightning bolt"
should be above the "arrow" when the in-
stallation is complete).The valve box
should also be installed so that it is at
least 8" (24 cm) above the floor (or base
of the cabinet), and so the excess coiled
hose will remain lower than the box at all
points.
A 2" x 4" (60 x 115 mm) cutout in either
the side or bottom of the cabinet adjoin-
ing the dishwasher is necessary if the
valve box needs to be passed through.
