• Slowly open the hot water line and check for any sign of water leakage
at all hose connections. If leaks are located, immediately close the
water supply and repair the hose connections.
If your existing faucet adapter is not compatible with the “quick connect”
hose assembly supplied, then the following procedures should be
followed:
• Connect the faucet adapter (included with dishwasher) to your faucet.
• If your faucet is inclusive of a ‘female’ type (threaded) connection, both
rubber washers must be installed inside the faucet adapter.
• If your faucet is inclusive of a ‘male’ type (threaded) connection, use
only the standard rubber washer (0.2”/5mm thick) supplied within the
adapter. Remove the second rubber washer.
For Best Results:
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of clean hot water and
detergent (under pressure) against the soiled surfaces of dishes. The
water is pumped through a rotating spray arm, drained through a filter
(removing food and soiled particles) and pumped back through the spray
arm. Soiled water is pumped out and replaced with clean water at the end
of each cycle (the number of times this is repeated depends on the wash
cycle chosen).
Water Pressure
For best results, incoming water pressure should be between 15 and 20
pounds per square inch (psi).
Water Temperature
For best results, the water temperature must be at least 55ºC (130ºF). To
prevent damage to the dishwasher, the temperature of the incoming
water supply should not exceed 65ºC (149ºF).
NOTE:
Hard water conditions will adversely affect the washing performance of
your dishwasher. Hard water conditions will also contribute to ‘lime’ (white
film substance) deposits and/or ‘scaling’ on the stainless steel surface of
the dishwasher tub and heater element, located in the sump underneath
the removable filter screen. To assist in minimizing these conditions, it is
recommended to periodically operate/rinse the inside of the dishwasher
(empty) using 1 cup of white vinegar at least once a week.
