Tighten the connection using a square drive
wrench to avoid putting stress on the water
tap.
Connecting Power
Insert the power plug into a grounded outlet.
• The power cord should not be positioned behind
the appliance but within 47.2 inches of the side
so that the plug is easily accessible.
WARNING
• Do not use an extension cord or 2-prong
adapter.
• The plug must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
• Connect to a properly rated, protected, and sized
power circuit to avoid electrical overload.

Connecting the Drain Hose

If the end of the drain hose does not fit the drain
line, use a heat and detergent resistant adapter
(not supplied). These may be obtained from a local
plumbing supply store.
• Cut the adapter so the end matches the size of
the drain connection.
NOTE
• For drain hose installation, use the screw style
hose clamp provided with this dishwasher in the
silverware basket.
• If connecting the dishwasher's drain hose to the
garbage disposal, be sure to follow your
garbage disposal's manual for proper
installation instructions.
Drain Hose Requirements
• Follow local codes and ordinances.
• Do not exceed 12 ft. (3.65 m) distance to drain.
• Do not connect drain hoses from other
appliances to the dishwasher's drain hose.
• If an extension drain hose is required, use a 5/8"
or 7/8" inside diameter, 2-3 ft. length hose and a
coupler for connecting the two hose ends.
Height of the Drain Hose
The height of the drain hose end must be at least
12" (305 mm) and within 40" (1016 mm) from the
base of the dishwasher to avoid water being
siphoned from the tub.
