Locating Drain, Water, and Electrical Supplies

Before you begin, review this section in detail. Check your location to make sure you have the right drain, water, and electrical supplies to make these connections.

Refer to the dimensional details in Figure 8 to help you decide where to run the drain, water, and electrical lines. All connections must be made in the shaded area as shown in Figure 1 on page 4.

NOTE: Make sure that no lines cross in front of the dishwasher’s motor or legs.

Drain

Review Figures 9 and 10 to determine where you will connect the dishwasher to the drain system. Cut a 2” diameter drain hose hole in the shaded area shown in Figure 1 on page 4. Check both sides of the area BEFORE cutting to avoid interference. If the cabinet wall is wooden, sand the edges of the hole until it is smooth and rounded. If the cabinet wall is metal, all sharp edges MUSTbe covered by a protective material such as electrical tape or duct tape to avoid cutting the drain hose.

Local codes may require the drain line to be connected to house plumbing with a drain air gap. If the drain hose is to be connected to a separate drain trap, the trap must be vented with a drain air gap to prevent siphoning.

A drain loop must be fixed (with a suitable clamp or support) at a minimum height of 32” from the floor. When routing the drain hose, be sure there are no sharp bends or kinks that might restrict drain flow. Proceed as follows:

1.Route the hose from the dishwasher cabinet through the 2” drain hose hole you have cut for it.

2.Support or clamp the drain hose so that the loop is at a minimum height of 32”.

3.Use a drain hose clamp (not included) to connect the hose to the sink drain or disposer. Do not connect the hose to the horizontal pipe between the sink drain and the garbage disposer. Entry

into sink drain must be above trap. Be careful not to over tighten the clamp or you may damage the end of the hose.
