Factors Affecting Performance
Water Pressure
The hot water line to dishwasher must provide water
pressure between 20 and 120 psi.
Low water pressure may occur when laundry or showers
are in operation. Wait until water use is reduced before
starting dishwasher.

Water Temperature

Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and drying
results. Water entering dishwasher should be 120°F (49°C)
to give satisfactory results.
To check water temperature entering dishwasher:
• Turn on hot water faucet nearest dishwasher for several
minutes to clear cool water from pipes.
• Hold a candy or meat thermometer in stream
of water to check the temperature.
• If temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have a qualified
person raise the hot water heater thermostat setting.
