Connecting and disconnecting your dishwasher
CONNECT THE UNICOUPLE TO THE FAUCET

Collar
• 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 a unicouple leak was observed,
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.
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 the unicouple attached so water from
the unicouple will run into the sink drain.
• Plug the dishwasher power cord into the
electrical outlet.

the unicouple assembly before

depressing the red pressure relief button
on the unicouple.

water from hoses into a bowl or suitable
container that is held outside and lower
than the sink.
• Feed the unicouple and hoses back into
their storage pocket.
