Installation Instructions

WARNING

A hose that attaches to a separate sink spray faucet can burst if installed on the same water line as the dishwasher. If your sink has one, it is recommended the hose be disconnected.

If your existing faucet adapter is not compatible with the "quick connect" water inlet hose assembly supplied;

•Install the faucet adapter (included with dishwasher) onto your faucet.

•If your faucet is inclusive of a "male" type (threaded) connection, insert the standard (2mm) rubber washer inside the faucet adapter.

•If your faucet is inclusive of a "female" type (threaded) connection, insert both rubber washers (2mm & 5mm) inside the faucet adapter.

•The minimum height clearance required to install this dishwasher on a counter with overhead (suspended) cupboards is 17-1/2" (44.4cm)

•Make sure the electrical outlet is within the required distance of the power cord. (length of power cord is 6 feet /182.8 cm).

•Make sure the water supply (connection) is within distance of the (water inlet & drain) hose assembly (length of the hose assembly is 5 feet / 152.4cm).

•The dishwasher must be installed on a "solid" level surface.

•To level the dishwasher, adjust the levelling screws (feet) under the dishwasher.

Water Pressure

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".

If household water pressure is low, the fill time of the dishwasher will be longer.

FOR BEST CLEANING RESULTS:

Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent against the soiled surface of the dishes. Water (under pressure) is pumped through a spray arm causing it to rotate, cascading jets of water over the dishes. The water is then drained through a (mesh) tub filter, (removing solid food particles) and recirculated back through the spray arm.

The soiled water is pumped out and replaced with fresh water at the end of each cycle.

Connecting your Dishwasher

Your dishwasher comes equipped with a "quick connect" (fill & drain) hose assembly and faucet adapter.

•Close faucet and repair any leaks using teflon tape.

•Attach the hose assembly (quick-connect) to the faucet adapter, by gently pulling down the (outer) locking collar of the quick connect, while pushing the attachment upward onto the faucet adapter.

•When the quick-connect snaps onto the faucet adapter, release the locking collar. Check for a positive fit.
