Electrical Supply  
The customer has the responsibility of ensuring that  
the dishwasher electrical installation is in compli-  
ance with all national and local electrical codes and  
ordinances. The dishwasher is designed for an  
electrical supply of 120V, 60 Hz, AC, connected to a  
dishwasher-dedicated, properly grounded electrical  
circuit with a fuse or breaker rated for 15 amps. If  
the dishwasher is connected with a food disposer, a  
20 amp (and no higher) fuse or circuit breaker may  
be used. Electrical supply conductors shall be a  
minimum #14 AWG copper wire.  
Regardless of where the electrical supply cable  
enters the enclosure (following the guidelines on  
page 8), position the cable 21” (533mm) from the  
enclosure’s left side, as shown in Figure 5, letter A.  
Extend the cable 30” (762mm) from the enclosure’s  
back, as shown in Figure 5, letter B.

CAUTION: Temperatures required for soldering  
and sweating will damage the dishwasher’s  
base and water inlet valve. If plumbing lines are  
to be soldered or sweated, keep the heat  
source at least 6 inches (152.4 mm) away from  
the dishwasher’s base and water inlet valve.  
Figure 7  
Hot Water Supply  
The hot water heater should be set to deliver  
approximately 120° F (49° C) water to the dish-  
washer. 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 bars).  
Hot Water Supply Plumbing  
Install an easily accessible shut-off valve (not  
supplied) in the hot water supply line, as shown in  
Figure 7, letter B.  
All solder connections must be made before the  
water line is connected to the dishwasher’s water  
inlet valve. Water may also be supplied to the  
dishwasher by using a braided hose line. Check  
with your local plumbing supply sources for the  
proper hose and 90° elbow fitting.  
NOTE: Regardless of where the hot water supply  
line enters the enclosure (following the guidelines  
on page 8), position the line 14” (355mm) from the  
enclosure’s left side, as shown in Figure 7, letter A.  
NOTE: Decide whether braided hose or copper  
tubing will be used for the hot water supply  
plumbing, and purchase the correct type of hot  
water supply shut-off valve, 90° elbow, and  
necessary fittings for the hot water supply plumb-  
ing.
