Connecting a Kenmore portable dishwasher typically involves a few steps. Here's a general guide to help you with the process:
Prepare the area: Choose a suitable location near a water source, such as a sink, and close to an electrical outlet. Ensure that there is enough space for the dishwasher to fit and that it is level.
Attach the faucet adapter: Most portable dishwashers come with a faucet adapter that allows you to connect the dishwasher to the sink faucet. Remove the aerator from the faucet and screw on the faucet adapter provided with the dishwasher. Make sure it is securely attached.
Connect the water supply hose: Take the water supply hose included with the dishwasher and attach it to the faucet adapter. Ensure it is tightly secured. Some models may have a quick-connect or snap-on connection.
Set up the drain hose: Extend the drain hose from the back of the dishwasher and ensure it reaches a suitable drain. This could be a sink drain, a standpipe, or a dishwasher drain connection under the sink. Make sure the drain hose is securely in place and properly positioned to prevent leaks.
Plug in the power cord: Locate the power cord attached to the dishwasher and plug it into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is compatible with the dishwasher's power requirements.
Test the connections: Once everything is set up, turn on the water supply to the faucet and check for any leaks. Also, make sure the drain hose is properly draining water into the designated drain.
Load the dishwasher and run a cycle: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for loading the dishwasher with dishes and detergent. Close the dishwasher door, select the desired wash cycle, and let the dishwasher complete its cleaning cycle.
Always refer to the specific instructions provided with your Kenmore portable dishwasher for detailed and model-specific guidance. If you have any doubts or encounter difficulties during the installation process, it's recommended to consult the user manual or contact Kenmore customer support for assistance.
