Installation Instructions

WARNING

A hose that attaches to a sink spray can burst if it is installed on the same water line as the dish- washer. If your sink has one, it is recommended that the hose be disconnected and the hole plugged.

Remove All Packaging Materials Carefully.

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 (0.2”/5mm thick) supplied inside the adapter. Remove the second rubber washer.

If your faucet is inclusive of a ‘female’ type (threaded) connection, both rubber washers must be installed inside the faucet adapter.

The minimum height clearance required to install your dishwasher on a countertop surface with over- head cupboards is 45cm (17.7”).

Make sure there is an electrical supply (outlet) within reach of the electrical power supply cord (195 cm / 6.3 ft).

Make sure the water supply/faucet connection is within reach of the inlet & drain hose assembly (i.e., 58 cm / 22.8”).

The dishwasher must be installed on a solid, level surface.

Water Pressure

For best operating results, incoming water pressure should be between 15 and 20 pounds per square inch (psi).

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 dishwash- er, 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.
