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.

It is recommended that a shut-off valve (not

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.
