Water Line Connection
Route the water pipe or tubing as shown (see Figure
14), straight forward from the back to the inlet valve.
Pipe or tubing must not be kinked. It must be free of
scales, chips, lubricants, etc. before it is connected to
the inlet valve. Flush the water line before
connecting it to the valve.
If the water valve clogs with foreign material, turn off
the water supply, then remove the four (4) screws at
the inlet end of the valve for access to the filter
screen.
Note: Do not solder too close to the water valve.
Overheating of the valve will damage plastic parts
in the valve.
Use care that no sealer, dirt, or foreign material
can enter valve.
The furnished drain hose must not be used as a
water supply line.
Be sure the dishwasher is placed where the water
valve is protected from freezing temperatures. If
the valve freezes, flooding may occur.
