Hot Water Connection

HOT WATER CONNECTION

To avoid being scalded, 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.

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

supplied) for the hot water supply line has been pur-

chased 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.

Stainless Steel Braided Hose Approved for Dish-

washer Use.

After connections are made turn on the hot water supply

to check for leaks.

NOTE: Braided dishwasher supply hoses can also be

used to extend pre-existing dishwasher water supply

lines.

Copper Tubing

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

connecting 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.

NOTE: Do not use pipe sealant on compression fittings.
