How to use the Unicouple on convertible models

Before operating your convertible dishwasher the first time...

Aitach the Aerator Faucet Adapter

The special aerator faucet adapter supplied with your dishwasher must be assembled to the sink faucet spout before you can use your dishwasher.

The faucet adapter is designed to fit standard spouts having internal or external threads. You will find the adapter and two washers in the “Hardware for Installation” packet in your dishwasher.

To install faucet adapter, first remove the old aerator or trim ring on your faucet spout.

If faucet has external threads:

%3

F

Tf

Insert the thinner of the two washers into the faucet adapter

ld attach it to the faucet spout.

faucet has internal threads:

%= /.1

Insert both washers into the fauc adapter and attach it to the faucet spout.

If the faucet adapter threads do not match your faucet spout,

your local hardware or plumbing supply store normally has additional fittings to adapt your faucet spout to the special aerator faucet adapter.

NOTE: A sink spray attachment hose can burst if it is installed on the same sink with your dishwashe~ We suggest that you disconnect the sink spray attachment if your sink has one and plug the hole.

How to connect the Unicouple on convertible models

1.Pull Unicouple and its hoses from storage compartment located at rear of dishwasher and attach it to the faucet adapter.

2.Attach the Unicouple connector

to the faucet adaDter by deDressina collar at the top of the &onnector. - When Unicouple is all the way up onto the adapter, release the collar. It will then snap into position to lock the Unicouple in place.

The Unicouple’s small hose carries water from the faucet to the dishwasher. Its large hose carries drain water to the sink. Be sure drain hose is pointing toward the sink bowl drain opening and the sink drain is open for water that will drain from your dishwasher. If your dishwasher drains into a dis- poser, operate the disposer until it is completely empty before start- ing the dishwasher.

3.Turn hot water fully on before starting the dishwasher.

Faucet=Flo nozzle.

The Faucet-Flo nozzle is part of the Unicoupie connector. Operate the nozzle by depressing the pressure release lever on the side of the Unicouple connector. You will find the Faucet-Flo nozzle useful for several reasons:
