Install the Plumbing
The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi •
(138-827 kPa). The household hot water heater must
supply a minimum of 120 °F water to the dishwasher
location for best results.
Install a valve for the hot water supply line where it is •
easily accessible after the dishwasher is installed. The
dishwasher water inlet hose is equipped with a 3/8”
(10 mm) compression fitting.
Use the supplied flexible braided water line to connect •
between the dishwasher hot water inlet and the hot
water supply valve. Make sure it is long enough to
reach when the unit is removed from the cabinet for
repair.
Planning the Drain
IMPORTANT: A drain hose is supplied with the product
(see above). Should a longer drain hose be required, use a
hose approved for detergents and high temperature water.
The drain hose supplied with the dishwasher meets an
AHAM DW-1 test standard. Longer drain hoses should not
be longer than a total of 12 ft. in length.
You must install an air gap in the drain if the drain hose •
is connected to household plumbing lower than 20 in.
(508 mm) from the floor or if required by local codes.
Plan for the air gap in the sink or countertop area
adjacent to the dishwasher. A section of drain hose (not
provided) needs to be installed from the air gap to the
disposal or waste tee.
If an air gap is not required, the drain hose must be •
installed to an inlet or waste tee above the drain trap in
the household plumbing.
The drain hose supplied with the dishwasher should be •
connected to a minimum 1/2 in. I.D. drain connection.
If the drain is connected to a disposal, see the disposal •
manufacturer’s installation instructions for correct drain
hose mounting techniques.
