7.1.2 WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION

Water supply may be connected to the 

dishwasher in one of two ways:

•  With metal braided hose.

•  With copper tubing.

 CAUTION

•  Hot water supply line: Use minimum 3/8” 

O.D. copper tubing or metal braided 

dishwasher supply line.

•  Temperatures required for soldering and 

sweating will damage the dishwasher’s 

water inlet valve so if any such operation 

is needed, keep the heat source 

min. 77/8” (200mm) away from the 

dishwasher’s water inlet valve.

•  There should not be any sharp bends in 

the water line that may restrict the water 

flow.

•  Teflon tape or pipe tread compound 

must be used for sealing the connection. 

Before connecting the copper water 

supply line to the dishwasher, flush it with 

hot water to clear any foreign material.

 NOTICE :

After connections are made turn on the 

water supply to check for leaks.

7.1.3 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

 WARNING

•  Make sure the voltage and frequency 

listed on the data plate correspond with 

the household electrical supply. This data 

must correspond to prevent injury and 

machine damage. Consult a qualified 

electrician if in doubt.

•  Only connect the dishwasher to the 

mains when all installation and plumbing 

work is complete.

•  Do not use any extension cord or 

portable outlet device to connect the 

dishwasher to a power supply.

•  The power-supply receptacle for the 

appliance shall be installed in a cabinet 

or on a wall adjacent to the undercounter 

space in which the appliance is to be 

installed.

•  The access hole of the supply cord to the 

installation compartment must be smooth 

and rounded and it must be large enough 

for the attachment plug to pass through. 

The longest dimension of the opening 

shall not be more than 1,5” (38 mm).If the 

partition is metal, it needs to be covered 

with an edge protector.

•  Care must be taken when the appliance 

is installed or removed, to reduce the 

likelihood of damage to the power-supply 

cord.

7.1.4 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS 

This appliance must be grounded. In the 

event of a malfunction or breakdown, 

grounding will reduce the risk of electric 

shock by providing a path of least 

resistance for electric current. This 

appliance is equipped with a cord having 

an equipment-grounding conductor and a 

grounding plug. The plug must be plugged 

into an appropriate outlet that is installed 

and grounded in accordance with all local 

codes and ordinances. This appliance 

must be connected to a grounded metal, 

permanent wiring system, or an equipment-

grounding conductor must be run with the 

circuit conductors and connected to the 

equipment-grounding terminal or lead on 

the appliance.

 WARNING

Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk 

of electric shock. Check with a qualified 

electrician or service representative if 

you are in doubt whether the appliance is 

properly grounded. Do not modify the plug 

provided with the appliance, if it will not fit 

the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by 

a qualified electrician.
