Danby DDW399W Dishwasher User Manual


 
For best operating results, incoming water pressure
should be between 15 and 120 pounds per
square inch (psi). Incoming water supply for the
dishwasher is controlled by a "pressure switch"
application, so if household water pressure is low,
dishwasher fill time will be longer.
FOR BEST RESULTS:
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot
clean water and detergent (under pressure) against
the soiled surface 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 cycle being used) For best cleaning
results, the water temperature must be at least
130°F (55°C). To prevent dishwasher damage, the
temperature of the incoming water supply should not
exceed 160°F (71°C).
Connecting your Dishwasher
Your dishwasher comes equipped with a "quick
connect" (fill & drain) hose assembly.
A quick connect faucet adapter must be installed on
the faucet before you can connect the dishwasher.
This adapter is included inside your dishwasher.
The quick connect faucet adapter is compatible with
faucets inclusive of either male (exterior) and female
(interior) threaded faucet connections.
Screw the faucet adapter onto the faucet. (check
for leaks, use Teflon tape to eliminate if
necessary)
Connect the open end of the drain hose to the
drain port connection at the back of the
dishwasher cabinet and secure with hose clamp.
(included)
Connect the hot water inlet hose to the water inlet
valve at the back of the dishwasher cabinet. (do
not over-tighten to avoid damage to threads)
Attach the quick-connect onto the faucet adapter,
by pulling down the (outer) locking collar of the
quick connect, while pushing the quick connect
upward up onto the faucet adapter.
When the quick-connect snaps onto the faucet
adapter, release the locking collar. Check for a
positive fit.
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.
If your existing faucet adapter is not compatible with
the "quick connect" hose assembly supplied;
Connect the faucet adapter (included with
dishwasher) to your faucet.
If your faucet is inclusive of a "male" type
(threaded) connection, use only the standard
rubber washer (2mm thick) supplied inside
adapter. Remove the second (5mm thick) rubber
washer.
If your faucet is inclusive of a "female" type
(threaded) connection, both rubber washers (2mm
& 5mm) must be installed inside the tap adapter.
The minimum height clearance required to install
your dishwasher on a countertop surface with
overhead cupboards is 17-1/4 " (43.8cm)
Make sure there is an electrical supply (outlet)
within distance of the electrical power supply cord.
(6 feet /182.8 cm).
Make sure the water supply faucet connection is
within distance of the (fill & drain) hose assembly
(6 feet / 182.8cm).
The dishwasher must be installed on a "solid" level
surface.
•To level the dishwasher, adjust the 4 level screws
(feet) under the dishwasher.

WARNING
A hose that attaches to a sink spray can burst
