Water Line Connection
• If using a flexible braided supply hose, label the hose
with the installation date to use as reference. Flexible
braided hoses should be replaced in 5 years.
• Turn off the water supply.
• Install a hand shut-off valve in an accessible location,
such as under the sink. (Optional, but strongly
recommended and may be required by local codes.)
• Water connection is on the left side of the dishwasher.
Install the hot water inlet line, using no less than 3/8”
copper tubing or a flexible braided hose. Route the line
as shown in Figure F and extend forward at least 19”
from rear wall.
• Adjust water heater for 120°F to 140°F temperature.
• Flush water line to clean out debris.
• The hot water supply line pressure must be 20-120 PSI.

NOTE: GE recommends copper tubing for the water
line, but if you choose to use flexible hose, use GE’s
WX28X326, flexible braided hose.
• The water supply line (3/8” copper tubing or flexible
braided hose) may enter from either side, rear or floor
within the shaded area shown in Figure F.
• The water supply line may pass through the same
hole as the electrical cable and drain hose. Or, cut an
additional 1-1/2" diameter hole to accommodate the
water line. If power cord with plug is used, water line
must not pass through power cord hole.
