5.1 Installing the Water Inlet Connection
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).
WARNING

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.

soldered or sweated, keep the heat source at least 6
inches (152.4 mm) away from the dishwasher.
Plumbing codes
▶ Check local plumbing codes for approved plumbing
procedures and accessories. All plumbing should be
done in accordance with national and local codes.

correct fittings for this connection.
¡ If using copper tubing or other material not depicted in
this manual for water supply, defer to a licensed
