Connecting the Hot Water Supply There are two plastic corrugated hoses that exit the back of the dishwasher. The larger hose, with the brass fitting on the end, is the water supply hose to the dishwasher (the other hose is the dishwasher drain hose). You will need a 3″ x 13/4″ (76 x 45mm) opening through the cabinet to pass the dishwasher water supply line through toward the shut off valve. Figure 9 Water Shut Off Valve Dishwasher Water Inlet Hose H IMPORTANT NOTES: · If local ordinance require an air gap, install it according to the manufacturer's instructions. · If the dishwasher drain hose is to be connected to a disposer dishwasher drain connection, remove the plug from the disposer's dishwasher drain connection. · The dishwasher drain hose must have one place along its length that is securely attached 20″ (508mm) above the cabinet floor. · The drain hose length can be extended if necessary. The maximum length of the drain hose, including the hose leading to the air gap, is 150″ (3800mm). Figure 10 110-120V max 43" (1100mm) To connect the hot water supply: 1. Assemble the water supply adaptor fitting (H) from the parts bag onto the dishwasher water supply hose. This connection does not require Teflon brand tape. 2. Pass the dishwasher water supply line with attached adaptor through the opening toward the water shut off valve. Take care not to allow the hose to kink or twist behind the dishwasher. 3. Connect the dishwasher water supply line with adaptor to the water shut off valve. You will need to use an approved dishwasher water supply line with the correct fittings for this connection. Always use the appropriate seal when making plumbing connections. NOTE: The end of the dishwasher water inlet hose is heavy and will need to be supported. It is best to lay the end on the cabinet floor as shown in Figure 9. 4. After all connections are made, turn on the hot water and check for leaks. Drain Connections The dishwasher drain hose may be connected to the household or field drain plumbing in one of four ways. You will need a 11/4" diameter hole in order to pass the drain hose through the cabinet. 1 Directly under the sink dishwasher drain connection, as shown in Figure 11. 2 Directly to a disposer dishwasher drain connection, as shown in Figure 12. 3 To the under sink dishwasher drain connection through an air gap, as shown in Figure 13. 4 To a disposer dishwasher drain connection through an air gap, as shown on Figure 14.
