MAKING THE DRAIN CONNECTION
CAUTION
To prevent siphoning, an air gap MUST BE USED when waste tee or disposer connection
is less than 18" above the floor to prevent siphoning. Failure to provide the proper drain
connection using an air gap or a 30" minimum high drain loop will result in improper
draining and may cause property damage or poor wash performance.
1. Follow local codes and ordinances.
2. Review Figure 4 and Figure 5, page 12 to see the different ways to connect
dishwasher to drain system. Choose the method that best suits your need.
3. If you connect to a sink drain, entry will need to be above the trap. A "Y"
branch tailpiece and connector kit, not included, will make this method easier
and included all needed fittings and instructions. See Figure 5, page 12.
