About the unicouple.
ge.com
Run the hot water faucet to purge cold
water from the hot water line. The hot water
must be between 120°F and 150°F for best
wash performance.
Pull Unicouple and its hoses completely out
from storage compartment located at rear
of dishwasher.
Attach the Unicouple connector to the
faucet adapter by depressing the 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.
Turn hot water fully on before starting the
dishwasher.
Plug the dishwasher power cord into the
outlet.
How to Connect the Unicouple
Unplug the dishwasher.
Push the cord back into its storage location.
Turn off the hot water.
Release the water pressure by depressing
the pressure release button.
Release the Unicouple from the faucet
by depressing the collar at the top of the
Unicouple connector.
Drain excess water from the unicouple hoses
(see below). Push the hoses back into their
storage location.
CAUTION:
To protect yourself and
the room from severe splashing, relieve water
pressure prior to disconnecting the unicouple.
How to Disconnect the Dishwasher
How to Drain Excess Water From Unicouple Hoses
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.
Before Operating the 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.
To install faucet adapter,
first 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.
Tighten with pliers.
If faucet has internal threads:
Insert both of the washers into the faucet adapter and attach it to
the faucet spout.
Tighten with pliers.
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 it 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.
