Drain system specifications:

The machine comes equipped with:

–A 5 ft. long (1.5 m) flexible drain hose with an internal diameter of 7/8" (22 mm).

–A built-in swivel connector which allows the drain hose to be routed in any direction.

–A built in non-return valve on the dis- charge side to prevent waste water from flowing back into the dish- washer.

–A built-in odor trap on the discharge side to prevent odors from entering the kitchen.

Maximum drain height: 3 ft (1 m)

Maximum drain hose length: 12 ft (3.5 m)

Do not shorten the drain hose.

Electrical wiring and components should not come into contact with any plumbing fixtures or hoses.

IMPORTANT:

The dishwasher should be con- nected directly to the drain line.

Drain connection:

D = 24" (60 cm) (nominal)

Connect the supplied drain hose to the drain pipe of the kitchen sink either:

A - above the trap using the clamp pro- vided, or

B - to the dishwasher connector of the garbage disposal.

When connecting the drain hose to the garbage disposal, make sure to remove the knockout from the con- nection nipple. (See disposal manu- facturers instructions for this proce- dure.)

A sample of a correct water and drain installation of a dishwasher is shown.

A hose that attaches to a sink spray can burst if it is installed on the same water line as the dishwasher. If your sink has one, it is recom- mended that the hose be discon- nected and the hole plugged.
