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.
• Run hot water faucet to purge cold water from the hot
water line. The hot water must be between 120°F and
150°F for best wash performance.
• Roll the dishwasher to a position just in front of the sink.
• Pull the 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:
– Depress the locking
collar at the top of the
unicouple.
– Place the unicouple
completely over the faucet
adapter.
– Release the locking collar. The unicouple should now be
locked onto the faucet adapter.
• Turn on the hot water faucet and check for leaks. If a 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 the
unicouple attached so water from the unicouple will run into

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.

charges for a service call that is not covered by your
warranty.

packaging.
Locate the Owner’s Manual.
Read the Owner’s Manual to familiarize yourself with the
operation of the dishwasher.
Remove the protective film, if present, from the control
panel, door and cabinet.

lubricate the pump seal.
Plug power cord into outlet.
Close and latch dishwasher door.
Start dishwasher.
