Connecting the dishwasher

1. Run water at faucet until it is hot. Turn
water off.

ment on the back of the dishwasher.

kinked or twisted. Kinked hoses reduce
washing performance.

lifting the hose connector onto the faucet
adapter.
4. When the connector snaps into place,
release the locking collar.
5. Turn the hot water on slowly until it is

6. Plug in power supply cord.
7. See the "Starting Your Dishwasher"
section for instructions on how to start
the dishwasher.
Drawing water when dishwasher is
connected
You can draw water from the faucet while
the dishwasher is connected. Do not draw
water while the dishwasher is filling or while
water is being pumped out. (This helps
prevent a low fill when dishwasher is filling
or mixing drain water with fresh water.)
•
Press the red button on the hose connec-
tor to draw water from faucet. (The faucet
is set on hot. Adjust faucet for the water
temperature you want.)
NOTE: Turn hot water back on after you
draw water from faucet. Turn off cold water.
