WATER SUPPLY
Water can be supplied to the appliance in two
different ways, either through the Quick Connect
assembly or through direct hose connection,
depending on what water hook ups are available
to use. Water supply faucets must fi t standard 3/4
inch (19.05 mm) female garden hose couplings.
Do not use slip-on or clamp-on connections as the
water pressure may cause them to leak.
Using the Quick Connect Assembly
The Quick Connect assembly can be used to provide
water to the appliance when only one faucet is
available. For a single line installation, the Quick
Connect should be connected to the cold water
faucet and the inlet hose should be connected to the
cold water inlet on the back of the appliance.
A breakdown of the Quick Connect assembly is

If the water supply faucet is male threaded,
(right image below), use the thick washer in the
