WARNING!
Plumbing connections must comply with applicable 
sanitary, safety and plumbing codes in your area.
 
The machine can be connected to either a hot (max. 160 
°F, 70 °C) or cold water supply. We recommend a cold 
water supply. The water pressure should be 4.2-140 psi.
Connect to cold water...
If you use oil or electricity to heat your home.
Connect to hot water (max 160 °F, 70 °C)... 
If you use district heating, solar power, or geothermal 
power to heat your home. Choosing a hot water 
connection cuts program times and reduces the 
dishwasher’s electricity consumption.
The dishwasher comes with a 6-foot PEX water supply 
line that has a 3/8˝ NPT female connection.
After determining where the water supply line will enter 
under the sink, drill a 1-1/2˝ (38 mm) access hole and 
run the line to the approximate inlet valve location shown 
in the figure below. The water line inlet valve is on the 
right rear of the machine.
For service convenience, a shut-off valve (not supplied) 
should be installed in the supply line in an easily 
accessible location, such as, beneath the sink.
It is important that the water supply line and the shut off 
valve have a sufficient flow volume. At least 3 gallons 
(12 liters) per minute must be able to pass through the 
line. The water pressure should be 4.2-140 psi.
WARNING!
In order to prevent heat damage to the inlet valve, all 
solder connections must be made before the water 
line is connected to the dishwasher.
NOTE:
Be sure to run the PEX tubing through the hole to the 
sink compartment before moving the dishwasher into 
position.
