2. Water Connection

Connect the water inlet hose to the dishwasher's inlet port and to a suitable water faucet.

The drain hose is pre-attached to the unit and should be directed into a sink or drain.

3. Power Connection

Open the dishwasher door and pull out the dish rack. Load dishes, bowls, and cutlery, ensuring they do not block the spray arms. The dishwasher can accommodate 4-6 households (12-20 pieces of tableware), including rice bowls, dinner plates, soup bowls, and glasses.
