DRAIN REQUIREMENTS

■

A new drain hose is supplied with your dishwasher. If drain

hose is not long enough, use a drain hose extension with a

maximum length of 12 ft (3.7 m).

■

Make sure to connect drain hose to waste tee or disposer

inlet above drain trap in house plumbing and 20" (508 mm)

minimum above the floor. It is recommended that the drain

hose either be looped up and securely fastened to the

underside of the counter or be connected to an air gap.

IMPORTANT:

This product is not equipped with a high loop on

the side of the dishwasher. The installer is responsible for adding

a high loop in the adjacent cabinet. A high loop is required if

the dishwasher will drain into a floor drain. This prevents water

draw off from the dishwasher during operation. When the drain

is connected to a sink drain, counter-top air-gap or disposer, the

high loop is generally not required. An check valve internal to the

drain prevents back-flow into the dishwasher.

■

Make sure to use an air gap if the drain hose is connected to

house plumbing lower than 20" (508 mm) above subfloor or

floor.

■

If required, the air gap should be installed in accordance with

the air gap installation instructions. When you are connecting

the air gap, a rubber hose (not provided) will be needed to

connect to the waste tee or disposer inlet.

■

Use 1/2" (13 mm) minimum I.D. drain line fittings.

water cut off valve. Do not cut the water inlet hose for any

reason, to install, adapt or shorten.

■

A hot water line with 20 psi to 120 psi (138 kPa to 862 kPa)
