¾Prepare Dishwasher Enclosure
•The rough cabinet opening must be at least 24” deep, 18” wide and approximately 34½” high from floor to underside of the countertop.
•The dishwasher must be installed so that drain hose is no more than 10 feet in length for proper drainage. Follow local codes and ordinance.
•The dishwasher must be fully enclosed on the top, sides and back, and must not support any part of the enclosure.
CLEARANCES: When installed into a corner, allow 2” min. clearance between dishwasher and adjacent cabinet, wall or other appliances ( Allow 28 3/8 min.) clearance from the front of the dishwasher for door opening.
¾Ways Of Drain Connection
•Follow local codes and ordinances.
•Do not exceed 10 feet distance to drain.
Note: This dishwasher is equipped with a high drain loop. There is no minimum height required for drain hose routing. However, 18” minimum from floor to center of waste tee or disposer inlet is required.
Determine Drain Method
The type of drain installation depends on the following question.
•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 1½” diameter hole in the cabinet wall within the shaded areas shown in figure 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.
