IMPORTANT – When connecting drain line to
disposer, check to be sure that drain plug has been
removed. DISHWASHER WILL NOT DRAIN IF PLUG
IS LEFT IN PLACE.
Tip: Avoid unnecessary service call charges for a
no drain complaint.
Make sure excess drain hose has been pulled through
the cabinet opening. This will prevent excess hose
in the dishwasher cavity from becoming kinked or
crushed by the dishwasher.
