Drain Preparation

The dishwasher drain hose may be connected to the drain plumbing in one of three ways,
(Figures A, B, C):
• Either one of the above methods must be used or the dishwasher will not operate
properly.
• A hose that attaches to a sink spray can burst if it is installed on the same water line as the
dishwasher. If your sink has one, it is recommended that the hose be disconnected and the
hole plugged.
• The total length of the drain hose is 76-3/4" (1950mm). If a hose extension is required, a
drainage hose of equal quality must be used.
• The maximum length must not exceed 157-1/2" (4000mm). Otherwise, the cleaning process
is negatively influenced.
Under the Sink Drain
• Install a Y-branch tail pipe
(Figure A).

Installing an Air Gap

Disposal

connection plug before

up for a dishwasher; consult
your disposer manual for
correct connection
(Figure C).

(71.1cm) above the floor of the cabinet
and above the drain connection in the
drain hose to prevent waste water from
not draining properly and causing either
poor washing results or a bad odor.
NOTICE
Check with local ordinance for type of air
gap required.
