Important: Please verify the faucet adapter and dishwasher hose inner diameter dimensions to ensure proper fit before installation.

Setup and Installation

1. Prepare the Faucet: Ensure your faucet is clean and free of debris. If your faucet has an existing aerator, unscrew it.
2. Determine Thread Type: The Piumeif FA-dish-QC adapter features a dual-thread design.
   • If your faucet has external threads, the adapter will screw onto the outside of the faucet spout.
   • If your faucet has internal threads, the adapter will screw into the inside of the faucet spout.
3. Install the Adapter:
   • Place one of the provided shims (gaskets) into the adapter.
   • Screw the adapter onto your faucet. Hand-tighten only. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the threads or the adapter.

4. Check for Leaks: Turn on the faucet slowly to a low flow and check for any leaks around the adapter connection. If a leak occurs, gently tighten the adapter further or ensure the shim is properly seated. If leaks persist, try using an additional shim or plumber's tape (not included).
5. Connect Dishwasher Hose: Once the adapter is securely installed and leak-free, connect your portable dishwasher or washing machine hose to the adapter. Ensure a secure connection as per your appliance's instructions.

Operating Instructions

After successful installation, operate your portable dishwasher or washing machine according to its specific user manual. The Piumeif FA-dish-QC adapter provides a secure and full-flow water connection from your faucet to your appliance.

• Always ensure the faucet is turned on before starting your appliance.
• After the appliance cycle is complete, turn off the faucet and disconnect the appliance hose if required by your appliance's instructions or for general safety.

Maintenance

• Regular Inspection: Periodically check the adapter and its connection to the faucet for any signs of wear, corrosion, or leaks.
• Cleaning: If water flow decreases, the adapter's internal screen may be clogged. Unscrew the adapter from the faucet, remove the screen, and rinse it under running water to clear any debris. Reassemble carefully.

• Gasket Replacement: If leaks persist after cleaning and re-tightening, replace the rubber shim (gasket) with a new one. The product includes spare shims.

Troubleshooting

Issue: Water Leakage at Faucet Connection

• Cause: Adapter not tightened sufficiently, damaged gasket, or incorrect thread alignment.
• Solution: Ensure the adapter is hand-tightened securely. Check the rubber gasket for damage and replace if necessary. Ensure the adapter is screwed on straight, not cross-threaded.

Issue: Water Leakage at Dishwasher Hose Connection

• Cause: Dishwasher hose not properly connected or its internal gasket is faulty.
• Solution: Refer to your dishwasher's manual for proper hose connection. Ensure the hose is securely attached to the adapter. Check the hose's internal gasket.

Issue: Reduced Water Flow

• Cause: Sediment or debris clogging the adapter's internal screen.
• Solution: Unscrew the adapter, remove the internal screen, and clean it thoroughly under running water. Reinstall the screen and adapter.

Issue: Adapter Does Not Fit Faucet

• Cause: Faucet threads are not standard or are a different size than the adapter's dual-thread design.
• Solution: The Piumeif FA-dish-QC adapter is designed for standard faucet sizes (15/16"-27/24MM and 55/64"-27/22MM). If it does not fit, your faucet may require a specialized adapter not covered by this product. Verify your faucet's thread size.
