DRAIN REQUIREMENTS

• Use the new drain hose supplied with your
dishwasher. If this is not long enough, use
a new drain hose with maximum length of
12 ft (3.7 m) that meets all current AHAM/
IAPMO test standards, is resistant to heat
and detergent, and fits the 1" (2.5 cm) drain
connector of the dishwasher.
• Connect drain hose to waste tee or disposer
inlet above drain trap in house plumbing and
20" (50.8 cm) minimum above the floor. It
is recommended that the drain hose either
be looped up and securely fastened to the
underside of the counter, or be connected
to an air gap.
• Use a drain air gap if the drain hose is con-
nected to house plumbing lower than 20"
(50.8 cm) above the subfloor or floor.
• Use 1/2" (1.3 cm) minimum I.D. drain line
fittings.
