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.

STEP 3 CONNECT THE UNICOUPLE

TO THE FAUCET

if you have one, to Collar
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

!50% for best wash performance.
. Rollthe 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.

- Releasethe 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.
