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).

IMPORTANT NOTES:

·  If using a solder joint instead of a compression fitting, be 

sure to make 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 the appropriate seal 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.

·  Turn on the water supply and check for leaks after 

connections are made.

Water Supply Shut Off Valve

Install an easily accessible shut-off valve (not supplied) in 

the hot water supply line, as shown in 

Figure 9. All solder 

connections must be made before the water line is connected 

to the dishwasher. 

Method B - To permanently connect to household or 

field wiring:

1.  Remove the dishwasher electrical supply junction box 

cover and connect to the power supply cord from the 

house installation. See 

Figure 7.

2.  Remove 2″ to 3″ (51 - 76 mm) of the outer casing of the 

household or field supply wiring as shown in 

Figure 8. 

Remove 3/8″ to 1/2″ (10 - 13 mm) of the insulation from 

each wire as shown in 

Figure 8.

3.  Insert the bare copper or green wire(ground) to the 

“G” ground connection “    “ of the terminal block 

and securely tighten the terminal block screw (see 

Figure 7).

4.  Insert the white (neutral) wire to the “N” connection of 

the terminal block and securely tighten the terminal block 

screw.

5.  Insert the black(hot) wire to the “L” connection of the 

terminal block and securely tighten the terminal block 

screw.

6.  Check all electrical connections to make sure they are 

secure and then attach the junction box cover with the 4 

screws.

Avoid Electrical Shock Hazard

To avoid possible injury or property damage, 

care should be exercised when the dishwasher is 

installed or removed to reduce the likelihood of 

damage to the power cord.

WARNING

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.

Avoid Scald Hazard!

Do not perform any work on a charged 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.
