Installation Preparation-Hot Water Supply Prepare Hot Water Supply Hot Water Line • The line may enter from either side, rear, or floor within the shaded area shown in Figure F. • The 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 a power cord with plug is used, the water line must not pass through the power cord hole. 1-1/2" Dia. Hole Shut-off 5" Valve Hot 4" 5" 4" 2" 6" From Cabinet 19" From Wall Cabinet Face 2" From Floor CAUTION The hot water supply line pressure must be at least 20 PSI. Lower pressures could cause the water valve to leak and cause water damage. Sink Utility Connections Sink faucet hot and cold water lines and the sink drain line must run above and adjacent to the dishwasher, not behind it. Refer to Areas A and C in Figure A on page 3 and Figure F1 below. This is necessary to provide clearance for the dishwasher when it is installed in the cabinet. Utility lines routed directly behind the dishwasher will interfere with placement of the dishwasher in the cabinet and cause it to extend beyond the adjacent cabinets. Figure F1 illustrates an installation using a double bowl sink, a disposer and a high drain loop. Note: All utility lines are above, below or adjacent to the dishwasher. None are routed behind it. Figure F Water Line Connection • Turn off the water supply. • Install a hand shut-off valve in an accessible location. (Optional, but strongly recommended and may be required by local codes.) 679DiaE • The water connection is on the left side of the dishwasher. Install the hot water inlet line, using 3/8" or larger copper tubing. Route the line as shown in Figure F and extend forward at least 19" from rear wall. • Adjust the water heater to deliver water between 120°F and 150°F. • Flush water line to clean out debris. Use a bucket to catch water and debris. • The hot water supply line pressure must be between 20 and 120 PSI. 6" Double-bowl stainless steel sink Spacemaker® dishwasher Cold water Hot water Valve to shut off water to dishwasher Hot water supply to dishwasher Dishwasher drain hose Figure F1 Countertop 25" deep 1-1/2" thick 1-1/2" Close elbow Dishwasher water inlet valve 2101 SpaceMaker Install 6
