Disconnecting Your Dishwasher - EdgeStar Koldfront PDW60EB Owner's Manual

5
If your existing faucet adapter is not compatible with the "quick connect" hose
assembly supplied, then the following procedures should be followed:
• Connect the faucet adapter (included with dishwasher) to your faucet.
• If your faucet is inclusive of a 'female' type (threaded) connection, both rubber
washers must be installed inside the faucet adapter.
• If your faucet is inclusive of a 'male' type (threaded) connection, use only the
standard rubber washer (0.2"/5mm thick) supplied within the adapter. Remove
the second rubber washer.
For Best Results:
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of clean hot 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 this
is repeated depends on the wash cycle chosen).
NOTE:
Hard water conditions will adversely affect the washing performance of your
dishwasher. Hard water conditions will also contribute to 'lime' (white film
substance) deposits and/or 'scaling' on the stainless steel surface of the
dishwasher tub and heater element, located in the sump underneath the
removable filter screen. To assist in minimizing these conditions, it is
recommended to periodically operate/rinse the inside of the dishwasher (empty)
using 1 cup of white vinegar at least once a week.

Disconnecting your Dishwasher

1. Close the hot water supply at the faucet.
2. Disconnect the power supply cord.
3. Remember to release the water pressure inside the inlet hose.
4. The inlet hose is pressured when the water supply line is opened, even if
closed immediately.
5. To release pressure: press and hold the red pressure relief button on the
quick-connect assembly until the flow of water stops.
6. Disconnect the quick-connect hose assembly by pulling down on the outer
locking collar, thus releasing it from the faucet adapter.

Failure to relieve water pressure before disconnecting the Quick
Connect assembly from the Faucet Adapter may result in backpressure
overspray.

The inlet water temperature can be EXTREMELY HOT!

Backpressure overspray could cause SEVERE BURNS and/or
SCALDING!

Do NOT let children disconnect the dishwasher. Close supervision of
children is always important around appliances.
