Preparing the Drain

CAUTION

Keep the factory installed high loop drain hose in place to ensure proper dishwasher operation. Do not modify or move the mounting bracket in any manner. If it is necessary to lengthen the hose, install an aftermarket drain extension kit, available at most home improvement stores.

IMPORTANT: Should a drain hose longer than the one provided be required, use a hose extension approved for detergents and high temperature water. The drain hose supplied with the dishwasher meets an AHAM DW-1 test standard. Total drain hose length (including factory installed hose) must not exceed

10 feet. (304.8 cm) from the top of the drain loop on the back of the unit. Joints and joint tubes must have a minimum inside diameter of 7/8” (2.2 cm).

•The drain hose supplied with the dishwasher must be connected to a minimum 1/2” inside diameter drain connection.

• The drain hose is equipped with a cone-shaped connector on the end that is ready to be cut to the desired drain connection size. Only a clamp (not provided) is required. It fits drain connections with an internal diameter of 1/2, 5/8, 3/4 and 7/8 inches (1.3, 1.6, 1.8 and 2.2 cm).

•You must install an air gap in the drain system if required by local codes. Plan for the air gap in the sink or countertop area adjacent to the dishwasher. A section of drain hose (not provided) needs to be installed from the air gap to the waste disposer inlet or waste tee.

•If an air gap is not required, the drain hose must be installed to a disposer inlet or waste tee above the sink trap in the household plumbing.

•For proper drainage, the drain line connection must be a minimum of 20” (50.8 cm) above the bottom of the dishwasher.

•No part of the drain hose can be lower than the disposer or waste tee connection or higher than 35” (88.9 cm) from the bottom of the dishwasher.
