Hi Karen
It would be most unusual for a dishwasher to have a hot water feed as there is an internal element to bring the water temp up to the extremely high temperature required. However, I have purchased a Diplomat ABA9242 from MFI (who unfortunately have went into liquidation) and I am lifting it tomorrow. I will let you have a copy of the instructions if they come with it.
I will come back to this forum and let you know.
