Drain Connections - Asko Dishwasher Installation Instructions Manual

DRAIN CONNECTIONS

ASKO provides a 7/8˝ (22 mm) diameter corrugated drain
hose which is connected to the back of the unit to form
a high loop.
NOTE:
Do not use any fittings anywhere in the drain
line that are less than 7/8˝ (22 mm) OD.
The access hole for the drain line should be 1-5/8˝ (41 mm)- 2˝
(50mm) max.
The end of the drain line is 1/2˝ (12 mm), but it is adjustable
to 7/8˝, 3/4˝, 5/8˝ (22 mm, 19 mm, and 16 mm). If the drain
connection is larger than
1/2˝ (12 mm), you can
easily cut the drain line to
fit the connection.
The illustrations to the right show three ways to connect
the drain supply line.
THE HIGH LOOP
The high loop is necessary for proper draining. Therefore,
all ASKO dishwashers have the drain hoses attached to
the drain pump and fastened to the top back of the unit,
as illustrated. This gives the drain
hose an automatic high loop, which
is necessary for proper draining. The
drain hose is fastened at the best high
loop height.
To eliminate potential drain problems, simply leave
this hose in place.
DO NOT REMOVE THE HIGH LOOP ATTACHED TO
THE BACK OF THE DISHWASHER!
IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER:
♦ Failure to provide the proper drain connection height
(minimum of 20˝ (508 mm) above the bottom of the
dishwasher base) or a 20˝ (508 mm) high loop will
result in improper drainage, which will damage the
machine.
♦ No part of the drain hose should be higher than 35˝
(889 mm) from the bottom of the dishwasher.
♦ The drain hose can be extended to a maximum length
of 10 feet (3048 mm). Joints and jointed tubes, if any,
must have a minimum 7/8˝ (22 mm) OD.
♦ If the drain line is going to be connected to a waste
disposer, be sure to remove the knockout or plug from
the fitting on the disposer before connecting the drain
line.
♦ Do not use fittings smaller than 7/8˝ (22 mm) OD;
otherwise the water may not drain properly.
When the installation is ready, open the supply valve to
pressurize the fill system. Then check that all connections
are tight and there are no leaks.
