Making the Connections

MAKING THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

1. The dishwasher operates on a 120 Volt, 60 Hz electrical supply. Provide

a separate circuit with fuse or circuit breaker rated for at least 15 amps (20
amps if connected with a disposer), but not more than 20 amps.

2. Note the location of the electrical supply and the dishwasher’s electrical

junction box on the right hand underside of the unit. See Figure 2, page 9.

3. Cut the access hole in the shaded area shown in Figure 1, page 7.

4. Pull the electrical cable through the hole into the installation area.

MAKING THE WATER CONNECTION

1. Determine where you connect to the hot water supply. Review Figure 2,

page 9 and note the location of the water inlet valve.

2. Be sure water inlet is protected from freezing. If valve freezes and

ruptures, flooding may occur.

3. Determine the amount of tubing needed to connect the hot water supply to

the unit’s water inlet valve. Copper tubing must have a minimum of 3/8” OD.
High-pressure and high-temperature rated plastic tubing with a minimum
inner diameter of 1/4” may be used. A shut-off valve installed outside the
dishwasher cabinet is recommended. See Figure 3, page 11.

CAUTION

Property Damage – Do not use the furnished drain hose or a rubber garden hose for the
water supply line. Either of the hoses can burst. Flooding may occur and cause property
damage. Property damage resulted from actions described will void the warranty.

An existing or new, copper or stainless steel braided line, rated for dishwasher use, should
attach the dishwasher to the water supply line.
