The flexible material should be facing forward (Figure B). 6.5 PREPARING THE WATER CONNECTION (A) Install an easily accessible shut-off valve (not supplied) in the water supply line.
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. 6.6 DRAIN PREPARATION The dishwasher drain hose may be connected to the drain plumbing in one of three ways (Figure A, B, C).
