How to Connect a Maytag Jetclean Quiet Pack Dishwasher to the Faucet

Maytag Jetclean dishwashers are available in both portable and built-in models. Portable models are great for kitchens lacking the room for a permanent dishwasher, as the dishwasher can be tucked away in a closet when not in use. The dishwasher connects to an adapter on your kitchen sink faucet that provides the water required to clean your dishes. When the cycle is finished, the water is pumped out of the dishwasher, and released into the sink from the bottom of the faucet adapter. If you are using your Maytag Jetclean dishwasher for the first time, you must first install the faucet adapter onto your kitchen faucet.

Instructions

  1. Installing the Faucet Adapter

      Remove the aerator, screen and rubber washer from the bottom of your faucet. To remove the components, twist the aerator counterclockwise, and then thread the piece off the faucet.

      Insert the screens and thin washer into the top of the faucet adapter. Both the screen and thin washer are included with the dishwasher.

      Insert the thick washer that was also included with the dishwasher on top of the thin washer, if the threading on the bottom of your sink is located on the inside of the faucet. Do not use the thick washer it the threading on your sink is located on the outside of your faucet.
