Water Inlet Connection ! WARNING 18 SCALDING HAZARD! Do not perform any work on a pressured hot water line. Serious injury could result. Only qualified plumbers should perform plumbing work. Do not attempt any work on the dishwasher hot water supply plumbing until you are certain the hot water supply is shut off. NOTICE : Temperatures required for soldering and sweating will damage the dishwasher. If plumbing lines are to be soldered or sweated, keep the heat source at least 6 inches (152.4 mm) away from the dishwasher. 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 bar). • Connect the dishwasher water supply line to the water shut off valve. If one isn't already in the supply line, install one (not provided). • You will need to use an approved dishwasher water supply line with the correct fittings for this connection. • After all connections are made, turn on the hot water and check for leaks. IMPORTANT NOTES: • If using a solder joint instead of a compression fitting, be sure to complete all solder connections before connecting the water supply line to the dishwasher. • Make sure there are no sharp bends or kinks in the water line that might restrict water flow. • Always use appropriate seals when making plumbing connections. • Before connecting the water supply line to the dishwasher, flush the incoming water line for approximately 5 minutes to clear any foreign material. • Properly tighten all water connections. Not doing so could result in a leak. • Check local plumbing codes for approved plumbing pro- cedures and accessories. All plumbing should be done in accordance with national and local codes. • If using copper tubing or other material not depicted in this manual for water supply, defer to a licensed plumber for proper installation. 15
