the unit from the water supply.

2. Remove the Rinse-o-matic from the sink and turn it
over so the hose connection can be seen.

3. Turn the hose so that the key slot in the base and
hose are aligned as shown in Fig. C.

4. Using two fingers, hold the elbow collar back while
pulling on the hose to disengage it (Fig. D).

5. Pull hose carefully through the key slot hole.

6. After cleaning or replacement, push hose back
through key slot hole and connect at the elbow.
Push end of hose completely into the elbow
