Connecting to Water and Electrical Supply

1. Run water at the faucet until it is hot. Turn off the water.
2. Pull the hoses out of their storage compartment on the back
of the dishwasher.
NOTE: Make sure the hoses are not kinked or twisted. Kinked
hoses reduce washing performance.
3. Pull down on the locking collar while lifting the hose

Using the Faucet

You can draw water from the faucet while the dishwasher is
connected.
NOTE: Do not draw water while the dishwasher is filling or while
water is being pumped out. (This helps avoid a low fill when
dishwasher is filling or mixing drain water with fresh water when
dishwasher is draining.)
Press the red button on the hose connector to draw water from
the faucet. (The faucet is set on hot. Adjust the faucet for the
water temperature you want.)
NOTE: Turn the hot water back on after you draw water from the
faucet. Turn off the cold water.

Disconnecting the Dishwasher

pressure.

DISHWASHER LOADING

Loading Suggestions

Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard
items from the dishes. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes
before putting them into the dishwasher. The wash module
removes food particles from the water. The module contains a
chopping device which will reduce the size of food items.
NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and eggshells
enter the wash module, you might hear chopping, grinding,
crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds are normal
when hard items enter the module. To avoid damage to the
dishwasher, do not let metallic items (such as pot handle
screws) get into the wash module.
It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.
Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping, if
possible. For best drying, water must be able to drain from all
surfaces.
Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets,
etc., do not interfere with the spray arm rotation.
Run a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not plan to
wash them soon. Foods such as eggs, rice, pasta, spinach,
and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if they are left to
dry over a period of time.
