9 Wrap electrical tape f around each connection. INSTALLATION 17 • Do not connect drain hoses from other appliances to the dishwasher's drain hose. • If an extension drain hose is required, use a 5/8" or 7/8" inside diameter, 2-3 ft. length hose and a coupler a for connecting the two hose ends. ENGLISH 10 Fold the connected wires back into the junction box and screw on the junction box cover. WARNING • Verify that the black wire is hot (120 V). If not, or if you are unsure of the power supply, have it checked by a licensed electrician. Height of the Drain Hose The height of the drain hose end must be at least 12" (305 mm) and within 40" (1016 mm) from the base of the dishwasher to avoid water being siphoned from the tub. CAUTION • Do not leave stripped wire exposed. Trim stripped wire to fit completely inside wire nuts. Connecting the Drain Hose If the end of the drain hose does not fit the drain line, use a heat and detergent resistant adapter (not supplied). These may be obtained from a local plumbing supply store. • Cut the adapter so the end matches the size of the drain connection. Connecting to Disposal without Air Gap 1 Remove the knockout plug on the disposal with a hammer and screwdriver. NOTE • For drain hose installation, use the screw style hose clamp provided with this dishwasher in the silverware basket. • If connecting the dishwasher's drain hose to the garbage disposal, be sure to follow your garbage disposal's manual for proper installation instructions. 2 Remove the knockout plug a from the disposal. CAUTION • If the knockout plug has not been removed, the dishwasher will not be able to drain properly. Drain Hose Requirements • Follow local codes and ordinances. • Do not exceed 12 ft. (3.65 m) distance to drain.
