Using the Faucet

You can draw water from the faucet while the dishwasher is

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

1. Turn off the hot water. (This can be done after the last rinse.)

pressure.
