DRAIN REQUIREMENTS
•Follow local codes and ordinances.
•Do not exceed 10 feet distance to drain.
•To prevent back flow into the dishwasher, connect drain line to an air gap or use a 30” high drain loop, depending on local codes.
•Air gap must be used when waste tee or disposer connection is less than 18” above the floor to prevent siphoning.
DETERMINE DRAIN METHOD

■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 high drain loop less than 30” above the floor?
If the answer to ANY of these questions is YES, Method 1 MUST be used.
• If all answers are NO, either method may be used.
An air gap MUST BE USED if the drain hose is con- nected to a waste tee or disposer lower than 18” above the floor level.
•Failure to provide the proper drain connection using an air gap or a 30” min. high drain loop will result in improper draining of the dishwasher which may cause damage or poor wash performance.
