(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. Route the line as shown in Figure F and extend forward at least 19" from rear wall. • Adjust water heater to deliver water at 120°F to 150°F at the dishwasher. • Flush water line to clean out debris. • The hot water supply line pressure must be 20-120 PSI.
