Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect electrical power before

installing dishwasher.

Failure to do so can result in death

or electrical shock.

Unpacking

Have at least two people to move and install the dishwasher to prevent personal injuries.
Remove all packaging materials: shipping tape, foam pieces, etc. before use. Do not use

sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids or abrasive cleaners. Check and
make sure all parts necessary for installation are included. If parts are missing, please
contact Sunpentown at 1-800-330-0388. The dishwasher must be placed on a level and

flat surface that can support the weight when the dishwasher is fully loaded.

Positioning

This dishwasher is designed for countertop installation. The dishwasher is equipped
with water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned to the right or the left

to facilitate proper installation. Make sure water supply/faucet connection is within

reach of the inlet and drain hose assembly (5 ft).

E|ectrical Requirements

Read all safety precautions listed at the beginning of the manual. Make sure the
electrical outlet is within reach of the power supply cord (4.5 ft). It is recommended

to not use receptacles that can be turned on/off by a switch or pull chain.

Refer to the rating label and be sure the voltage and frequency corresponds to the
power supply. Use a dedicated circuit that is rated for l 0 amps.

The dishwasher is equipped with a power supply cord with a 3-prong grounding plug.
The cord must be plugged into a mating 3-pronged wall receptacle. If a mating wall

receptacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility of the customer to have a
properly grounded, 3-pring wall receptacle installed by a certified electrian.

Quick Connect assembly

1. Screw the Faucet Adapter onto (or into) the faucet. Check for leaks (use Teflon or plumbers
tape to eliminate any leaks if necessary).

2. Connect the six-sided connection of the Drain Hose to the dishwasher's drain port, located
on back of the dishwasher cabinet. To avoid damage to threads, do not over-tighten.

3. Connect the star-shaped connection of the Inlet Hose to the dishwasher's inlet port, located
on the back of the dishwasher cabinet. Do not over-tighten.

4. Connect the circular connection of the Drain Hose to the longer (bottom) male connection
on the Quick Connect.

5. Connect the circular connection of the Inlet Hose to the shorter (top) male connection on the
Quick Connect.

6. Attach the Quick Connect assembly onto the Faucet Adapter - pull down on the locking collar,
while pushing the Quick Connect assembly upwards onto the Faucet Adapter.

7. Release the locking collar when the Quick Connect Assembly snaps onto the Faucet Adapter.
Verify connection is secure.

8. Slowly turn on the water line and check for any signs of water leak at all connections. If leaks
are located, immediately turn off the water supply and repair hose connections.

• Once you turn on the water supply (even if turned off immediately), the inlet hose will be pressurized.

• To relieve the water pressure (make sure water supply is turned off): press and hold the red

pressure relief button on the Quick Connect until the flow of water stops.

WARN|NG

FAILURE TO RELIEVE WATER PRESSURE, BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE QUICK-CONNECT
FROM THE FAUCET, WILL RESULT IN BACK-PRESSURE OVER-SPRAY. THE TEMPERATURE

OF INCOMING WATER CAN BE VERY HOT, AND BACK-PRESSURE OVER-SPRAY CAN CAUSE
SEVERE BURNS AND/OR SCALDING.

DO NOT LET CHILDREN DISCONNECT THE DISHWASHER; CLOSE SUPERVISION OF
CHILDREN IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT AROUND APPLIANCES.

NOTE:
Hard water conditions will adversely affect the washing performance of your dishwasher. Hard

water conditions will also contribute to 'lime' (white film substance) deposits and/or 'scaling' on the

stainless steel surface of the dishwasher tub and heater element, located in the sump underneath

the removable filter screen. To assist in minimizing these conditions, it is recommended to

periodically operate/rinse the inside of the dishwasher (empty) using 1 cup of white vinegar at least
once a week.

Disconnecting the Dishwasher

1. Turn off water supply at the faucet.

2. Disconnect the power supply cord.

3. Release water pressure inside the inlet hose. Press and hold the red Pressure Relief Valve until
the flow of water stops.

4. Disconnect the Quick Connect assembly by pulling down on the locking collar and release from
Faucet Adapter.
