DRAIN CONNECTIONS ASKO provides a 7/8˝ (22 mm) diameter corrugated drain hose which is connected to the back of the unit to form a high loop. NOTE: Do not use any fittings anywhere in the drain line that are less than 7/8˝ (22 mm) OD. The access hole for the drain line should be 1-5/8˝ (41 mm)2˝ (50mm) max. The end of the drain line is 1/2˝ (12 mm), but it is adjustable to 7/8˝, 3/4˝, 5/8˝ (22 mm, 19 mm, and 16 mm). If the drain connection is larger than 1/2˝ (12 mm), you can easily cut the drain line to fit the connection. The illustrations to the right show three ways to connect the drain supply line. THREE WAYS TO INSTALL DRAIN CONNECTIONS A) Typical connection to sink plumbing before trap (high loop drain) 508 THE HIGH LOOP The high loop is necessary for proper draining. Therefore, all ASKO dishwashers have the drain hoses attached to the drain pump and fastened to the top back of the unit, as illustrated. This gives the drain hose an automatic high loop, which is necessary for proper draining. The drain hose is fastened at the best high loop height. To eliminate potential drain problems, simply leave this hose in place. DO NOT REMOVE THE HIGH LOOP ATTACHED TO THE BACK OF THE DISHWASHER! IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER: • Failure to provide the proper drain connection height (minimum of 20˝ (508 mm) above the bottom of the dishwasher base) or a 20˝ (508 mm) high loop will result in improper drainage, which will damage the machine. • No part of the drain hose should be higher than 35˝ (889 mm) from the bottom of the dishwasher. • The drain hose can be extended to a maximum length of 10 feet (3048 mm). Joints and jointed tubes, if any, must have a minimum 7/8˝ (22 mm) OD. • If the drain line is going to be connected to a waste disposer, be sure to remove the knockout or plug from the fitting on the disposer before connecting the drain line. • Do not use fittings smaller than 7/8˝ (22 mm) OD; otherwise the water may not drain properly. When the installation is ready, open the supply valve to pressurize the fill system. Then check that all connections are tight and there are no leaks. B) Connection to air gap then to the trap 508 C) Connection to waste disposer with air gap 508 NOTE: Don't forget to remove the knockout or plug from the disposer fitting.
