Midea Countertop Dishwasher Installation Guide

Installation Methods Overview

This guide provides instructions for installing your Midea Countertop Dishwasher. Two connection methods are available:

If your faucet cannot support Method 1, Method 2 can be considered.

Method 1: Quick Connection

Parts Needed (Provided)

The following parts are included with your dishwasher for the quick connection method:

• 1. Inlet Hose: Connects the water supply to the dishwasher.
• 2. Drain Hose: Carries wastewater from the dishwasher.
• 3. Faucet Adaptor: Designed to fit 15/16" male threaded or 55/64" female threaded faucets. Includes two sealing rings for a secure fit.
• 4. Quick Connect: A mechanism for easily attaching and detaching the inlet hose to the faucet adaptor.

This method requires a faucet with a removable aerator. The faucet must be compatible with the provided adaptor.

Compatible Faucets: Faucets with removable aerators are suitable. The image shows examples of compatible faucet types.

Incompatible Faucets: Pull-out faucets, spout faucets, and shower pipes are not compatible with this connection method.

Aerator Compatibility:

• Your faucet must have a removable aerator.
• The faucet aerator size should be 15/16" male threaded or 55/64" female threaded. This size is comparable to a standard quarter coin.
