more than 20 amps.

5. Pull electrical cable through hole into installation area.

6. Be sure water inlet valve is protected from freezing. If valve

freezes and ruptures, flooding may occur.

7. Determine amount of tubing needed to connect hot water supply

to the unit’s water inlet valve. Extra hose length is necessary.

High-pressure and high-temperature Stainless Flexible hose with

a minimum inner diameter of

/4” may be used. A shut-off valve

installed outside dishwasher cabinet is best.

8. Route water supply line into installation area.
