Important Safety Information READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:

• Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow for several minutes before using the washing machine. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Do not smoke or use an open flame during this process.
• Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator is moving.
• Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
• Do not tamper with the controls.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifi cally recommended in the user maintenance instructions or in published user repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
• Do not operate the appliance when the water pressure is lower than 7 PSI or higher than 0.5MPa to avoid damage to the inlet system.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities may be different or reduced, or who lack experience or knowledge, unless such persons receive supervision or training to operate the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.

This appliance has a cord that has a grounding wire with a 3-prong plug. The power cord must be plugged into an outlet that is properly grounded. If the outlet is a 2-prong wall outlet, it must be replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. The serial rating plate indicates the voltage and frequency the appliance is designed for.

WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service agent if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not connect your appliance to extension cords or together with another appliance in the same wall outlet. Do not splice the power cord. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord. Do not use extension cords or ungrounded (two prongs) adapters.

If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualifi ed person in order to avoid hazard.

Any questions concerning power or grounding should be directed toward a certifi ed electrician.

DANGER: Risk of child entrapment. Children must be supervised around this appliance. Ensure that the lid is removed before discarding this appliance.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WATER SUPPLY

Water can be supplied to the appliance in two different ways, either through the Quick Connect assembly or through direct hose connection, depending on what water hook ups are available to use. Water supply faucets must fit standard 3/4 inch (19.05 mm) female garden hose couplings. Do not use slip-on or clamp-on connections as the water pressure may cause them to leak.

Using the Quick Connect Assembly

The Quick Connect assembly can be used to provide water to the appliance when only one faucet is available. For a single line installation, the Quick Connect should be connected to the cold water faucet and the inlet hose should be connected to the cold water inlet on the back of the appliance.

A breakdown of the Quick Connect assembly is below.

1. Facet Adapter
2. Locking Collar
3. Inlet Hose Connection
4. Drain Hose Connection
5. Pressure Release Valve
6. Quick Connect Assembly

Note: The drain hose connection on the Quick Connect assembly is only for use with counter top dishwashers. When using the Quick Connect with a portable dishwasher or washing machine, leave the cap in place, this connection is not necessary.

Connecting the Quick Connect Assembly to the Water Supply

Pull down on the locking collar and pull up on the faucet adapter to remove the adapter from the assembly.

Remove the aerator from the faucet before attaching the faucet adapter.

If the water supply faucet is female threaded, (left image below), use both the thick and thin washers in the connection.

If the water supply faucet is male threaded, (right image below), use the thick washer in the connection.

Turn on the faucet to check for leaks at the connection before continuing. If leaks are present, it may be necessary to wrap the faucet adapter or the faucet with Teflon tape before connecting the adapter to the faucet.

Pull down on the locking collar and push the Quick Connect assembly onto the bottom of the faucet adapter. Release the locking collar to attach the Quick Connect to the faucet.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Attach the water inlet hose to the inlet hose connection on the Quick Connect assembly by turning the connecting nut. Ensure that there is a rubber gasket in the connection to prevent leaks. Leave the cap in place on the lower drain hose connection on the Quick Connect assembly as it is not necessary for this appliance.

Attach the other end of the water inlet hose to the cold water connection on the back of the appliance. Leave the cap in place on the hot water connection and ensure that there is a rubber gasket in both connections to prevent leaks.

Important: After a wash program is complete, press the pressure release valve to release any water in the inlet hose before removing the Quick Connect from the faucet.

Using a Direct Hose Connection

If there are both hot and cold water faucets available, this appliance can be directly connected to the water supply using the steps below.

Connect both provided inlet hoses to the hot and cold faucets. Ensure that there is a rubber gasket in both connections to avoid leaks.

Attach the other ends of the water inlet hoses to the hot and cold water connections on the back of the appliance. Ensure that the cold water faucet is connected to the cold water inlet and that the hot water faucet is connected to the hot water inlet and that there are rubber gaskets inside both connections to avoid leaks.

DRAIN HOSE INSTALLATION

The drain hose will arrive pre-attached to the appliance. During operation of the appliance, the drain hose should be directed toward a sink or drain to catch the discarded water as it exits the appliance.

When running the drain hose to a drain, ensure that there are no bends in the hose as this can cause a blockage and impede the drain function.

The drain hose can be directed upward toward a sink or bucket but ensure that the hose does not rise more than 120~cm (47.3 in) from the ground as this can impact the drain function.
