To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or injury to persons, the installer must ensure that the dishwasher is completely enclosed at the time of installation.

•The dishwasher must be installed so that drain hose is no more than 10’ in length for proper drainage.

•The dishwasher must be fully enclosed on the top, sides and back, and must not support any part of the enclosure.

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.
