STEP 3 CONNECT THE UNICOUPLE TO THE
FAUCET
• Run garbage disposer,
if you have one, to
clean out the disposer
and thus allow water
to drain from the sink
through the disposer
and down the drain.
• Run 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.
• Roll the dishwasher to a position just in front of the sink.
• Pull the unicouple and its hoses completely out from storage
compartment at rear of the dishwasher.
• Attach the unicouple to the faucet adapter following the three
steps below:
– Depress the locking collar at the top of the unicouple
– Place the unicouple completely over the faucet adapter
– Release the locking collar. The unicouple should now be
locked onto the faucet adapter.
• Turn on the hot water faucet and check for leaks. If leak is
detected, disconnect the unicouple, and refer to Step 4.
Note:
The unicouple’s small hose carries water from the
faucet to the dishwasher. The large hose carries water from
the dishwasher to the sink. Orient the faucet with unicouple
attached so water from the unicouple will run into the sink drain.

STEP 4 FAUCET ADAPTER LEAK
Skip this step if no unicouple leak was observed
If a unicouple leak was observed in Step 3, 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.
