INSTALLING THE COMBO
1. Run some water from the hot and cold faucets to
flush the water lines and remove particles that might
clog the inlet hose and water valve screens.
2. Remove the inlet hoses from the packaging.
3. (90° elbow end) Ensure there is a
rubber washer in the 90° elbow end
of the hoses. Reinstall the rubber
washer into the hose fitting if it has
fallen out during shipment. Carefully
connect one inlet hose to the inside
"H" outlet of the water valve. Tighten by hand, then
tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers. Carefully connect
the other inlet hose to the outside "C" outlet of the
water valve. Tighten by hand, then tighten another 2/3
turn with pliers. Do not crossthread or over-tighten
these connections.
4. If inlet hose screen washers are not
already inserted into the inlet hoses,
install them by inserting into the free
ends of the HOT and COLD inlet hoses
with protruded side facing the faucet.
5. Connect the inlet hose ends to the HOT and COLD
water faucets tightly by hand, then tighten another 2/3
turn with pliers. Turn the water on and check for leaks.
6. Carefully move the Combo to its final location.
Gently rock the Combo into position. It is important
not to damage the rubber leveling legs when moving
your Combo to its final location. Damaged legs
can increase Combo vibration. It may be helpful to
spray window cleaner on the floor to help move your
Combo into its final position.
NOTE: To reduce vibration, ensure that all four rubber
leveling legs are firmly touching the floor. Push and pull
on the back right and then back left of your Combo.
NOTE: Do not use the dispenser drawers or door to
lift the Combo.
NOTE: If you are installing into a drain pan, you can
use a 24-inch long 2x4 to lever the Combo into place.
7. With the Combo in its final position, place a level on
top of the Combo (if the Combo is
installed under a counter, the Combo
should not be able to rock). Adjust
the front leveling legs up or down to
ensure the Combo is resting solidly.
Turn the lock nuts on each leg up
toward the base of the Combo and
snug with a wrench.
NOTE: Keep the leg extension at
a minimum to prevent excessive
vibration. The farther out the legs
are extended, the more the Combo
will vibrate.
If the floor is not level or is damaged, you may have to
extend the rear leveling legs.

NOTE: Placing the drain hose too far down the drain
pipe can cause a siphoning action. No more than
7" of hose should be in the drain pipe. There must
be an air gap around the drain hose. A snug fit can
cause a siphoning action.
9. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.
NOTE: Check to be sure the power is off at the
circuit breaker/fuse box before plugging the power
cord into an outlet.
10. Turn on the power at the circuit breaker/fuse box.
11. Read the rest of this Owner's Manual. It contains
valuable and helpful information that will save you
time and money.
12. Before starting the Combo, check to make sure:
Main power is turned on.
The Combo is plugged in.
The water faucets are turned on.
The Combo is level and all four leveling legs are
firmly on the floor.
The shipping support hardware is removed
and saved.
The drain hose is properly tied up.
There are no leaks at the faucet, drain line
or Combo.
13. Run the Combo through a complete cycle.
Check for water leaks and proper operation.
14. If your Combo does not operate, please review
the Before You Call For Service section before
calling for service.
15. Place these instructions in a location near the
Combo for future reference.
