Installation Instructions
1. Disconnect power.
2. Turn off water supply.
Prepare cabinet opening using
existing utility hookups
• 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.
1. Check that the water
line reaches to the
front left of opening
where the water
connection will be made.
2. Check that the direct
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 even when installing a
new replacement dishwasher.
1. Drill a 1-1/2” (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 1-1/2” 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.
4. Insert drain hose through
hole cut in cabinet to the
front center of opening
where drain connection will
be made.
