Locking Collar
Installing Quick Connect to faucet
The Faucet Adapter is compatible with either female
(inside) or male (outside) threaded faucet connections:

must be installed inside the faucet adapter.
· If your faucet is “male” type, use only one rubber
washer. Remove the second rubber washer.

1. Screw the Faucet Adapter onto (or into) the faucet. Check for leaks (use Teon 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.
IMPORTANT
· 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 ow of water stops.
WARNING
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.
DANGER
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 lm substance) deposits and/or 'scaling' on the
stainless steel surface of the dishwasher tub and heater element, located in the sump underneath
the removable lter 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 ow of water stops.
4. Disconnect the Quick Connect assembly by pulling down on the locking collar and release from
Faucet Adapter.
