Installation Instructions

WARNING
A hose that attaches to a sink spray can burst if it
is installed on the same water line as the
dishwasher. If your sink has one, it is recommended
that the hose be disconnected and the hole
plugged.
Remove All Packaging Materials Carefully.
If your existing faucet adapter is not compatible with the
"quick connect" hose assembly supplied;
• Connect the faucet adapter (included with
dishwasher) to your faucet.
• If your faucet is inclusive of a 'male' type (threaded)
connection, use only the standard rubber washer
(0.2"/5mm thick) supplied inside the adapter. Remove
the second rubber washer.
• If your faucet is inclusive of a 'female' type (threaded)
connection, both rubber washers must be installed
inside the faucet adapter.
• The minimum height clearance required to install
your dishwasher on a countertop surface with over-
head cupboards is 45cm (17.7").
• Make sure there is an electrical supply (outlet) within
reach of the electrical power supply cord (195 cm /
6.3 ft).
• Make sure the water supply/faucet connection is
within reach of the inlet & drain hose assembly (i.e.,
58 cm / 22.8").
• The dishwasher must be installed on a solid, level
surface.

Water Pressure

For best operating results, incoming water pressure
should be between 15 and 20 pounds per square inch
(psi).
For the Best Results:
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot
clean water and detergent (under pressure) against the
soiled surfaces of dishes. The water is pumped through
a rotating spray arm, drained through a filter (removing
food and soiled particles) and pumped back through the
spray arm. Soiled water is pumped out and replaced
with clean water at the end of each cycle, (the number
of times depends on the wash program being used). For
best cleaning results, the water temperature must be at
least 55ºC (130ºF). To prevent damage to the dishwash-
er, the temperature of the incoming water supply should
not exceed 65ºC (149ºF).

Connecting your Dishwasher

Your dishwasher comes equipped with a 'quick connect'
assembly (includes inlet and drain hose). The faucet
adapter must be installed on the faucet before you can
connect the dishwasher. This adapter is included inside
your dishwasher. The faucet adapter is compatible with
faucets inclusive of either male (outside) or female
(inside) threaded faucet connections.
• Screw the faucet adapter onto (or into) the faucet tap.
Check for leaks (use Teflon tape to eliminate if
necessary).
• Connect the six-sided connection of the drain hose to
the drain port connection on the back of the
dishwasher cabinet. Do not over-tighten (to avoid
damage to threads).
• Connect the star-shaped connection of the inlet hose
to the inlet port on the back of the dishwasher
cabinet. Do not over-tighten (to avoid damage to
threads).
• Connect the circular connection of the drain hose
onto the longer (bottom) male connection on the
quick connect.
• Connect the circular connection of the inlet hose onto
the shorter (top) male connection on the quick
connect.
• Attach the quick connect onto the faucet adapter, by
pulling down the outer locking collar on the quick
connect, while pushing the quick connect upward
onto the faucet adapter.
• When the quick connect snaps onto the faucet
adapter, release the locking collar. Verify the
connection is secure.
• Slowly open the hot water line and check for any sign
of water leaks at all hose connections. If leaks are
located, immediately close the water supply and
repair the hose connections.
