Installation Preparation Drain Preparation The dishwasher drain hose may be connected to the drain plumbing in one of three ways, (Figures A, B, C): NOTICE • 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). A Installing an Air Gap • If the local ordinance requires an air gap (Figure B). NOTICE You must add a loop at least 28" (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. B Disposal • Remove the drain connection plug before attaching the drain hose from the dishwasher. • Every disposal has a hookup for a dishwasher; consult your disposer manual for correct connection (Figure C). C 13 Installation Preparation Steam Protection Foil Steam will form inside the dishwasher during operation. At the end of the cycle, when the dishwasher door is opened, it is required to use a steam protection foil to prevent any steam from collecting on the underside of the counter top. Fitting the Protection Foil • Before applying the steam protection foil to the underside of the countertop, clean the area with a damp cloth (as shown in Figure A). Once the area dries, apply the steam protection foil. • The steam protection foil will be applied at the location where the hot steam escapes when you first open the door (as shown in Figure B). A B CAUTION Steam protection foil must be applied where the steam escapes when door is first opened. Failure to install the steam protection foil during installation can lead to damage to to the cabinets and countertop. 14
