INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECTING THE DISHWASHER
The appliance should be placed on a solid, fl at
counter, near the water source.
To connect the dishwasher to the water source:
1. Remove the aerator from the faucet and screw
the faucet adapter onto the faucet. The faucet
adapter is compatible with both male (outside
threaded) or female (inside threaded) faucets.
2. The faucet washer may or may not be
necessary. Once the faucet adapter is attached
to the faucet, turn on the water tap to test the
connection. If there are leaks at the tap adapter
connection, add the faucet washer and reattach.
If there are still leaks when using the faucet
washer, wrap tefl on tape around the faucet or
the tap adapter and reattach.
3. Pull down the locking collar on the Quick
Connect and push the end of the Quick Connect
onto the end of the faucet adapter. When the
Quick Connect clicks over the faucet adapter,
release the locking collar.
4. Attach the water inlet hose and the drain hose
to the back of the appliance. Ensure that both
connections are tightened and connected to the
correct ports.
5. Attach the water inlet hose and the drain hose
to the Quick Connect. Ensure that the hoses are
connected to the correct points on the Quick
Connect. The drain hose should connect to the
longer port on the Quick Connect. The inlet hose
should connect to the shorter port on the Quick
Connect.
6. Do not turn on the water source until you are
ready to run a wash program. Once the water
source is turned on, the inlet hose is pressurized
and fi lled with water. The water is released into
the unit once the wash program begins.
DISCONNECTING THE DISHWASHER
When the wash program is complete, turn off the
water source before attempting to disconnect the
appliance.
1. Press the pressure relief valve (red button) on the
Quick Connect to release any remaining water
from the water inlet hose.
WARNING: Failure to relieve the water pressure
before disconnecting the Quick Connect from the
faucet will result in pressurized water spray at the
connection point. This water can be very hot and
could cause burns or scalding.
2. Disconnect the inlet hose and the drain hose
from the Quick Connect. Allow any water left in
the hoses to drain before proceeding.
Note: For convenience, the drain hose and inlet
hose can remain attached to the Quick Connect
when not in use. Make sure that all water is drained
from the hoses before storing.
3. Disconnect the inlet hose and the drain hose
from the back of the appliance.
4. Pull down the locking collar on the Quick
Connect and pull downward to remove it from
the faucet adapter.
5. The faucet adapter can be removed or it can
remain on the faucet as it does contain an
aerator. If the faucet adapter is removed,
remember to replace the aerator on the faucet.
Note: Hard water conditions will adversely affect
the performace of the dishwasher. Hard water will
deposit lime or white scaling onto the stainless steel
surface of the dishwasher tub, the faucet aerator
and the internal fi lter assembly. It is recommended
to periodically run a rinse cycle with 1 cup (250 ml)
of white vinegar while the dishwasher is empty to
remove any scaling.
