Follow the steps in this section if you are installing the dishwasher in an existing cabinet opening with utility hookups.

If you are installing the dishwasher in a cabinet opening that does not have hookups, follow the steps under “Prepare cabinet opening where there are no existing utility hookups” section.

line reaches to the

wire reaches to the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

front right of opening

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

where the electrical connection will be made.

 

 

If the water line and the direct wire reach far enough into the opening, proceed to the next section “Install the drain hose.” If they do not reach far enough, follow the steps under “Prepare cabinet opening where there are no existing utility hookups.”

Install the drain hose

IMPORTANT: Always use a new drain hose when installing a new replacement dishwasher.

1.Drill a 1¹⁄₂" (3.8 cm) diameter hole in cabinet wall or floor on the side of the opening closest to the sink.

2.Connect drain hose to waste tee or waste disposer using one of the following methods:

Option 1, Waste disposer – with air gap

Option 2, No waste disposer – with air gap

Option 3, Waste disposer – no air gap*

Option 4, No waste disposer – no air gap*

*An air gap is recommended.

Helpful Tip: To reduce the vibration of the hose, keep the hose away from the floor and the edge of the hole where it passes through the cabinet.

Option 1, Waste disposer - with air gap:

1.Remove the disposer knockout plug. Cut end of drain hose if needed (do not cut ribbed section).

2.Attach drain hose to air gap with large spring-type clamp. If the drain hose was cut, use a 1¹⁄₂" to 2" (3.8 to 5 cm) screw- type clamp*.

3.Use a rubber hose connector* with spring- or screw-type clamps* to connect air gap to disposer inlet.

This connection must be before the drain trap and at least 20" (50.8 cm) above the floor where dishwasher will be installed.
