STEP 2 INSTALL FAUCET ADAPTER

The special faucet adapter supplied with your dishwasher

must be attached to the sink faucet before you can use your
dishwasher.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or
remove the third grounding prong from the
power cord.

Grounding Instructions-Power Cord Models
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction
or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock

by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must

be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

The improper connection of the equipment

grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service representative if you
are in doubt that the appliance is properly
grounded. Donot modify the plug provided
with the appliance, if it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified

technician.

The faucet adapter isdesigned to fit standard spouts having

internal or external threads. Youwi!! find the adapter and two

washers in the faucet adapter packet in gout dishwasher.

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

External Threads

thinner of the two washers into the faucet
adapter and attach it to the faucet spout.

Tighten with pliers.

Internal Threads

• If faucet has internal threads: Insert both
of the washers into the faucet adapter

and attach it to the faucet spout.

your faucet spout to the special faucet
adapter.

CAUTION: A sink spray attachment hose can burst if it is

installed on the same faucet as your dishwasher. We suggest
that you disconnect the sink spray attachment, if your sink has
one, and place a cap over the opening.

STEP 3 CONNECT THE UNICOUPLE TO THE

FAUCET

• Run garbage disposer,
if you have one, to
clean out the disposer

and thus allow water
to drain from the sink

through the disposer
and down the drain.

Runhot water faucet to

purge cold water from
the hot water line. The hot water must be between !20°F and

!50°F for best wash performance.
Rollthe dishwasher to a position just in front of the sink.

Pullthe unicouple and its hoses completely out from storage
compartment at rear of the dishwasher.
Attach the unicouple to the faucet adapter following the three
steps below:

- Depressthe locking collar atthe top of the unicouple

- Placethe unicouple completely over the faucet adapter

- Releasethe locking collar. The unicouple should now be

locked onto the faucet adapter.

Turn on the hot water faucet and check for leaks. If leak is
detected, disconnect the unicouple, and refer to Step 4.

Note: The unicouple's small hose carries water from the
faucet to the dishwasher. The large hose carries water from
the dishwasher to the sink. Orient the faucet with unicouple
attached so water from the unicouple will run into the sink drain.

STEP 4 FAUCET ADAPTER LEAK

Skip this step if no unicouple leak was observed

If a unicouple leak was observed in Step S,take whatever
actions are necessary to repair the leak.Thismay be as simple
as tightening the faucet adapter. Or, it may require the services
of a plumber if water is leaking from the interface between the

moveable faucet arm and the fixed part of the faucet fastened
to the sink.
