Connecting a dish washer to hot water

[Albert]

Hi,
I have a W.M that is feed by cold water, so the water has to be heated at a certain point. I find it a waist because I have a permanent hot water supply. Can someone explain how could I connect hot water supply to the W.M, is there a simple way to do so, and if how?
Many thanks
Albert

i presume the m/c has two inlet valves one cold one hot?

if so the cold is fed from one pipe and hot from the other, each pipe is then connected to the respective feed pipe via a w/m connector, don't use the clamp on ones

dishwashers only have a cold inlet as far as I know

Hey "breezer", you must have a split personality to B everywhere...
Sorry darling you are right, I meant Dish washer...
This is not my unit, a friend asked for help and I'm trying to do some homework B 4 I do anything stupid. So I'll re-fraise my question; Dish washer, can it be feed by hot water instead of cold?, if it is possible what do I need to connect it and if there is a simple diagram it will help. if you can please use normal definitions as I am not familiar with the pro jargon.
Thanks Albert

All the economical washers are cold feed only so I presume it is more efficient for the appliance to heat its own water.
If manu recs cold feed only then thats what you do.
Otherwise connect it to your hot supply and wait for it to blow up
