1. Review Figures 2-13, 2-14 & 2-15 to see the
different ways to connect dishwasher to drain
system. Choose method that best suits your
need.
2. If you connect to a sink drain, entry will need
to be above trap. A "Y" branch tailpiece and
connector kit, not included, will make this
method easier and includes all needed fittings
and instructions. (See Figure 2-13)
3. If you connect to a sink trap, local codes may
require you to install an air gap kit, (not
included). The drain hose will be routed from
dishwasher to air gap inlet as shown in Figure
2-14. An air gap kit is available from a
plumbing supply store. (If the drain hose is
installed through the floor, an air gap is
necessary).
4. If you connect to a disposer, the large end of
drain hose will fit. (See Figure 2-14) The knock
out plug must be removed from inside
disposer inlet before making the final fit to
drain hose.
5. If the cabinet wall is wood, sand edges of hole
until smooth and rounded. If cabinet wall is
metal, cover all sharp edges with electrical or
duct tape to avoid cutting drain hose.
6. Move unit back in place while routing drain
hose through access hole. Use caution to pre
vent damage to the dishwasher, floor and

cabinets.

I I M M P P O O R R T T A A N N T T : : Make sure there are no sharp bends
or kinks that might restrict drain flow.
7. Secure drain hose to sink drain, disposer, or
separate trap with a clamp. Do not connect
hose to horizontal pipe between sink drain and
disposer.
I I M M P P O O R R T T A A N N T T : : Be careful not to over tighten clamp
or you may damage end of hose.
8. Be sure unit does not rest on drain hose. It
should be free of electrical components and
door springs. Do not cut corrugated drain
hose. Pull excess through cabinet and place
under sink. Make sure hose does not come in
contact with any sharp edges.
