DRAIN REQUIREMENTS

Follow local codes and ordinances.

Do not exceed 10’ distance to drain.

NOTE: Air gap must be used, if waste tee or disposer connection is less than 18" above floor, to prevent siphoning.

DETERMINE DRAIN METHOD

The type of drain installation depends on the following questions.

Do local codes or ordinances require an air gap? Is waste tee less than 18" above floor?

If the answer to either question is YES, Method 1 MUST be used.

• If the answers are NO, either method may be used.

CABINET PREPARATION

Drill a 1-1/2" diameter hole in the cabinet wall within the shaded areas shown in Figure A for the drain hose connection. The hole should be smooth with no sharp edges.

IMPORTANT: When connecting drain line to disposer, check to be sure that drain plug has been removed. DISHWASHER WILL NOT DRAIN IF PLUG IS LEFT IN PLACE.
