Dishwasher: Measurements for Electrical Wire and Water Line

Steps 3 & 4    Prepare Electrical Wire and Water Line

                 Drain Hose
The dishwasher comes with a seven (7)
foot drain hose.
     A 1.25" access hole must be made to
     allow the drain hose to be run to the
     drain connection location.
 
        Hot Water Supply
*  The hot water line to the dishwasher
   must provide between 5 - 120 psi (0.3-
   8.27 bars) water pressure.
*  The hot water heater should be set to
   deliver 140°F (60°6) water
   temperature to the dishwasher.
*  A 3/8" minimum O.D. copper tubing
   inlet line is recommended.
*  All solder connections must be made
   before water line is nonnected to the
   dishwasher's inlet water valve. Do not
   solder within 6 inches (152.4mm)
   of the dishwasher's inlet water
   vaIve.
*  Drill a 1" (25.4 mm) diameter access
   hole in the cabinet for the water supply
   line.
*  Run the line to the approximate fill
   valve location.

It is recommended that a shut-off valve (not
supplied) be installed in the hot water
supply line in a readily accessible location.

                Electrical Supply
It is the customers responsibility to insure
that the dishwasher installation is in
compliance with all national and local
eIectrical codes and ordinances. The
dishwasher is designed to operate with a
120V, 60Hz, AC only electrical supply.
Connect to a separate electrical circuit with
a fuse or circuit breaker rated for 15 Amps.
A 20 Amp fuse or circuit breaker may be
used if the dishwasher is connected with a
food disposer, but not more than 2O Amps.
Electrical supply conductors shall be copper
and shall be minimum 16." The dishwasher
should be properly grounded, positioned
and should be installed by a qualified electrician.
No other appliances or outlets should be
connected to this circuit.

*  Cut a 1" (25.4mm) diameter hole in the
    cabinet. For wood cabinets, sand the
    hole until smooth. For metal cabinets,
    cover the edge with a grommet.
*  Run flexible cable (as codes permit) from
    junction through hole in cabinet. Cable
    should extend 30" (762 mm) from back
    wall.
