Sink Drainpipe System - Entry into the sink drain system must be above the trap (Fig. 5). When routing the drain hose through cabinets or walls, use a protective material such as electrical or duct tape to cover sharp edges that could damage the drain hose. Use a suitable clamp to secure the drain hose to the “Y” branch or the disposer (Fig. 7). With a sink drainpipe system, you may connect directly: 1) to a disposer by following the manufacturers attachment

IMPORTANT: Make sure that the drain hose is not kinked and that water flow is not restricted.

method. 2) directly to a “Y” branch tail piece (available at most hardware stores). 3) Through the floor to a separate trap. The trap must be vented to prevent siphoning. To provide proper venting, install an Air Gap Kit (available at most hardware stores). 4) To the faucet using a Faucet Adapter Kit (available separately).

•Use a U-Clamp (provided in your accessories packet) or suitable item to secure the outlet end of the drain hose (pre-installed on the back of your machine).

•Insert the outlet end of the drain hose into the standpipe, wall or floor drain (Fig. 6). NOTE: The outlet end of the drain hose MUST be at least 20” (50 cm) above the base of the machine. No more than 6” of the drain hose should be inserted into the drain pipe to prevent siphoning.

•Use a strap, cable tie, or similar item to hold the hose or the U-Clamp in place.
