HOT WATER CONNECTION

WARNING: SCALD HAZARD - Working

on a charged hot water line could result in

serious injury or death. Do not attempt any

work on the dishwasher hot water supply

plumbing until you are certain the hot water

supply is shut off.

NOTE: Make certain that the correct 90° elbow fitting (not

supplied) for the hot water supply line has been purchased

and installed on the dishwasher as described in the

Dishwasher Preparation section of this manual.

The hot water supply line may be connected to the

dishwasher in one of two ways:

1) With braided hose

2) With copper tubing

Braided Hose

After connections are made turn on the hot water supply

to check for leaks.

Copper Tubing

CAUTION

: Temperatures required for soldering and

sweating will damage the dishwasher's water inlet valve. If

plumbing lines are to be soldered or sweated, keep the

heat source at least 6 inches (152.4 mm) away from the

dishwasher's water inlet valve.

• If using a solder joint instead of a compression fitting,

be sure to make all solder connections before connect-

ing the water line to the dishwasher.

• Make certain there are no sharp bends or kinks in the

water line that might restrict water flow.

• Be sure to use pipe thread compound or Teflon tape to

seal the connection when required.

• Before connecting the copper hot water supply line to

the dishwasher, flush it with hot water to clear any

foreign material.

• Turn on the water supply to check for leaks after making

connections.
