CLEANING THE WATER INLET HOSE

If the water hoses are new or have not been used for an extended
period of time, let the water run to make sure it is clear and free of
impurities before performing the necessary connections. If this
C precaution is not taken, the water inlet could become blocked and
damage the dishwasher.
