6.4 PREPARING THE WATER CONNECTION (A)
Install an easily accessible shut-off valve (not supplied) in the water supply line. All solder
connections must be made before the water line is connected to the dishwasher’s water
inlet valve. Water can also be supplied to the dishwasher by using a flexible braided hose
line.
Check with your plumbing supply sources for the proper hose and 90° elbow and
necessary fittings for the water supply line. This material is not supplied, and must be
purchased separately.
WARNING
Installation should be performed by a qualified installer. Work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous and may void the warranty.
If the dishwasher is installed in a location that experiences freezing temperatures
(e.g. in a vacation home, cabin etc.), you must drain all the water from the
dishwasher’s interior. Water system ruptures that occur as a result of freezing are
not covered by warranty.

6.4.1 INSTALLING THE 90° ELBOW FITTING (B)
CAUTION
Do not over tighten the 90° elbow. Doing so
may damage the water inlet valve and cause a
water leak.
If the water supply line is to be copper tubing,
make certain that the elbow has a compression
fitting. Apply Teflon tape or other pipe sealant
when required. Orient the water supply connection
downwards as shown in the figure so the water line
can be easily pulled underneath or on the side of
the dishwasher.
