8. Slowly open the hot water line and check for any sign of water leaks at all 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. EdgeStar Dishwasher • 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). 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. Disconnecting your Dishwasher 1. Close the hot water supply at the faucet. 2. Disconnect the power supply cord. 3. Remember to release the water pressure inside the inlet hose. 4. The inlet hose is pressured when the water supply line is opened, even if closed immediately. 5. To release pressure: press and hold the red pressure relief button on the quick-connect assembly until the flow of water stops. 6. Disconnect the quick-connect hose assembly by pulling down on the outer locking collar, thus releasing it from the faucet adapter. • Failure to relieve water pressure before disconnecting the Quick Connect assembly from the Faucet Adapter may result in backpressure overspray. • The inlet water temperature can be EXTREMELY HOT! • Backpressure overspray could cause SEVERE BURNS and/or SCALDING! 6
