How to use the Unicouple
Before operating your
dishwasher the first time...
Attach the Faucet Adapter. The
special faucet adapter supplied
with your dishwasher must be
assembled to the sink faucet before
you can use your dishwasher.
The faucet adapter is designed to
fit standard spouts having internal
or external threads. You will find
the adapter and two washers in the
"Faucet Adapter" packet in your
dishwasher.

remove the old aerator or trim ring
on your faucet spout.
If faucet has external threads:
Insert the thinner of the two
washers into the faucet adapter and
attach it to the faucet spout.
If faucet has internal threads:
How to connect the
Unicouple
1. Pull Unicouple and its hoses
completely out from storage
compartment located at rear of
dishwasher and attach it to the
faucet adapter.
2. Attach the Unicouple connector
to the faucet adapter by depressing
collar at the top of the connector.
When Unicouple is all the way up
onto the adapter, release the collar.
It will then snap into position to
lock the Unicouple in place.
The Unicouple's small hose carries
water from the faucet to the
dishwasher. Its large hose carries
drain water to the sink. Be sure
Unicouple is pointing toward the
sink bowl drain opening and the
sink drain is open for water that
will drain from your dishwasher.
If your dishwasher drains into a
disposer, operate the disposer until
it is completely empty before
starting the dishwasher.
3. Turn hot water fully on betore
starting the dishwasher.
Insert both washers into the faucet
adapter and attach it to the faucet
spout.
If the faucet adapter threads
do not match your faucet spout,
your local hardware or plumbing
supply store normally has
additional fittings to adapt your
faucet spout to the special faucet
adapter.
NOTE: A sink spray attachment
hose can burst 'if_t is installed on
the same sink with your dishwasher.
We suggest that you disconnect the
sink spray attachment if your sink
has one and plug the hole.
