HOW TO USE THE UNICOUPLE
(Portable Models Only)
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 ÒFaucet
AdapterÕÕ 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 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.
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
Unicoupler 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 dis-
poser, operate the disposer until it is completely
empty before starting the dishwasher.
3.
Turn hot water fully on before starting the dish-
washer.

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.
