PLUMBING PREPARATION
WARNING: SCALD HAZARD -
Serious injury could result if work is
B
performed on a charged hot water line.
Only qualified plumbers should perform
plumbing work. Do not attempt any work on
14"
the dishwasher hot water supply plumbing
(355mm)
until you are certain the hot water supply is
A
shut off.
CAUTION: Temperatures required for soldering
and sweating will damage the dishwasher's base
and water inlet valve. If plumbing lines are to be
Figure 7
soldered or sweated, keep the heat source at
least 6 inches (152.4 mm) away from the
dishwasher's base and water inlet valve.
Hot Water Supply
The hot water heater should be set to deliver approximately
120° F (49° C) water to the dishwasher. Water that is too
hot can cause some detergents to lose effectiveness.
Lower water temperatures will increase run times.
The hot water supply pressure must be between 15 - 145
psi (1 - 10 bars).
Hot Water Supply Plumbing
Install an easily accessible shut-off valve (not supplied) in
the hot water supply line, as shown in Figure 7, letter B.
All solder connections must be made before the water line
is connected to the dishwasher's water inlet valve. Water
may also be supplied to the dishwasher by using a braided
hose line. Check with your local plumbing supply sources
for the proper hose and 90° elbow fitting.
NOTE: Regardless of where the hot water supply line
enters the enclosure (following the guidelines on page 8),
position the line 14" (355mm) from the enclosure's left
side, as shown in Figure 7, letter A.
NOTE: Decide whether braided hose or copper tubing will
be used for the hot water supply plumbing, and purchase
the correct type of hot water supply shut-off valve, 90°
elbow, and necessary fittings for the hot water supply
plumbing.
