For the Best Results:
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot clean water and detergent (under pressure) against
the soiled surfaces of dishes. The water is pumped through a rotating spray arm, drained through a filter
(removing food and soiled particles) and pumped back through the spray arm. Soiled water is pumped out
and replaced with clean water at the end of each cycle, (the number of times depends on the wash
program being used). For best cleaning results, the water temperature must be at least 55ºC (130ºF). To
prevent damage to the dishwasher, the temperature of the incoming water supply should not exceed 65ºC
(149ºF).
Connecting your dishwasher
Your dishwasher comes equipped with a ‘quick
connect’ assembly (includes inlet and drain
hose). The faucet adapter must be installed on
the faucet before you can connect the
dishwasher. This adapter is included inside
your dishwasher. The faucet adapter is
compatible with faucets inclusive of either male
(outside) or female (inside) threaded faucet
connections.
Screw the faucet adapter onto (or into) the
faucet tap. Check for leaks (use Teflon tape to
eliminate if necessary).
Connect the six-sided connection of the drain hose to the drain port connection on the back of the
dishwasher cabinet. Do not over-tighten (to avoid damage to threads).
Connect the star-shaped connection of the inlet hose to the inlet port on the back of the dishwasher
cabinet. Do not over-tighten (to avoid damage to threads).
Connect the circular connection of the drain hose onto the longer (bottom) male connection on the quick
connect.
Connect the circular connection of the inlet hose onto the shorter (top) male connection on the quick
connect.
Attach the quick connect onto the faucet adapter, by pulling down the outer locking collar on the quick
connect, while pushing the quick connect upward onto the faucet adapter.
When the quick connect snaps onto the faucet adapter, release the locking collar. Verify the connection is
secure.
Slowly open the hot water line and check for any sign of water leaks at all hose connections. If leaks are
located, immediately close the water supply and repair the hose connections.
IMPORTANT
• Once you open the water supply line, (even if it is closed immediately thereafter), the inlet hose will be
pressurized.
• To relieve water pressure from inside the inlet hose, (make sure the water line (faucet) is closed): press
and hold the red pressure relief button on the quick connect until the flow of water stops.
WARNING
FAILURE TO RELIEVE WATER PRESSURE, BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE
QUICK-CONNECT FROM THE FAUCET, WILL RESULT IN BACK-PRESSURE OVER-SPRAY. THE
TEMPERATURE OF INCOMINGWATER CAN BE VERY HOT, AND BACK-PRESSURE
OVER-SPRAY COULD CAUSE SEVERE BURNS AND/OR SCALDING.
DANGER
DO NOT LET CHILDREN DISCONNECT THE DISHWASHER; CLOSE SUPERVISION OF
CHILDREN IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT AROUND APPLIANCES.
