gentle. The copper tubing should be far enough into the
cabinet opening to connect it to dishwasher inlet on the
front left of the dishwasher.
5. Turn water shutoff valve to "ON" position. Flush water
into a shallow pan to get rid of particles that may clog

diameter hole in cabinet
wall or floor on the side
of the opening closest
to the sink.

waste tee or waste disposer using one of the following
methods:
• Option 1, Waste disposer – with air gap
• Option 2, No waste disposer – with air gap
• Option 3, Waste disposer – no air gap*
• Option 4, No waste disposer – no air gap*

Helpful Tip: To reduce the vibration of the hose, keep the
hose away from the floor and the edge of the hole where
it passes through the cabinet.
Option 1: Waste disposer – with air gap:
1. Remove the disposer knockout plug. Cut end of drain
hose if needed (do not cut ribbed section).
2. Attach drain hose to air gap with large spring-type
clamp. If the drain hose was cut, use a 1-1/2" to 2"
(3.8 to 5 cm) screw-type clamp*.
3. Use a rubber hose connector* with spring or screw-type
clamps* to connect air gap to disposer inlet.
This connection must be before the drain trap and at

be installed.
