Installation Preparation

Stainless Steel Interior Dishwasher

Prepare drain plumbing

Follow local codes and ordinances.

Dishwasher drain hose must not exceed 10 feet in length for proper drainage.

The dishwasher is supplied with a 3/4” I.D. drain hose, 78” long. Add up to 42” length to the factory supplied hose if necessary.

Dishwasher must be connected to waste line with an air gap (not supplied) or 30” minimum, high drain loop (depending on local codes and ordinances) to prevent back flow into the dishwasher.

An air gap must be used if waste tee or disposer connection is less than 12” above floor to prevent siphoning.

Install waste tee or disposer and air gap according to the manufacturer’s instruc- tions.

Cut a hole in cabinet wall, approximately 1-1/2” in diameter for drain hose.

Install drain hose hook to underside of countertop.

An air gap MUST BE USED if the drain hose is connected to waste tee or disposer lower than 12” above the floor level.

Failure to provide the proper drain con- nection height, 12", with air gap or 30” minimum high drain loop will result in improper draining of the dishwasher which may cause damage.

ATTENTION

IL DOIT Y AVOIR un dispositif anti-retour si le tuyau de vidange est branché à un té d’égout ou à un broyeur d’ordures qui est à moins de 30 cm (12 po) au-dessus du sol.

Si le tuyau d’égout n’est pas branché à une bonne hauteur, au moins 30 cm (12 po), avec un dispositif anti-retour, ou si la boucle d’égout haute n’est pas à une hauteur d’au moins 75 cm (30 po), le lave-vaisselle se vidange mal, ce qui peut causer des dégâts.
