water from the dishwasher to the sink. Orient the faucet

Turn on the hot water faucet and check for leaks. If a
unicouple leak was observed, take whatever actions
are necessary to repair the leak. This may be as
simple as tightening the faucet adapter. Or, it may
require the services of a plumber if water is leaking
from the interface between the moveable faucet arm
and the fixed part of the faucet fastened to the sink.
Plug the dishwasher power cord into the electrical
outlet.
Drain excess water from the unicouple. If the sink is 34"
or higher from the floor, the excess water in unicouple
hoses cannot be drained directly into the sink. It will be
necessary to drain excess water from hoses into a bowl
or suitable container that is held outside and lower than
the sink.
Feed the unicouple and hoses back into their storage
pocket.
Latch the dishwasher door closed.
Roll the dishwasher into its storage location.
