DRAIN REQUIREMENTS

•Follow local codes and ordinances.

•Do not exceed 10 feet distance to drain.

•Do not connect drain lines from other devices to the dishwasher drain hose.

•Dishwasher must be connected to waste line with an air gap (not supplied) or 32" minimum high drain loop,

depending on local codes and ordinances to prevent back flow into the dishwasher.

•Air gap must be used if waste tee or disposer connec- tion is less than 18" above the floor to prevent siphoning.

DRAIN PREPARATION

The type of drain installation depends on answers to the following questions:

Do local codes or ordinances require an air gap?

Will waste tee or disposer connection be less than 18" above the floor?

Will installation have a drain loop less than 32" above floor?

If the answer to ANY of the 3 questions above is YES, Method 1 MUST be used. Otherwise either Method 1

or Method 2 may be used. Figure C or Figure D.

CAUTION:

An air gap MUST BE USED if the drain hose is connected to waste tee or disposer lower than 18" above the floor.

Failure to provide the proper drain connection height with air gap or 32" minimum, high drain loop will result in improper draining of the dishwasher.
