Installation Preparation-Drain
PREPARE DRAIN PLUMBING
Drain Requirements
• Followlocalcodes and ordinances.
• Drainhose must notexceed 10 feetinlength,
• A highdrainloopor airgap isrequired.See below.
Drain Method
The type of drain installation depends on the
following:
• Do local codes or ordinances require an air gap?
• Is waste tee less than 18" above the floor?
If the answer to either question is YES,on air gap
(Method 1) must be used. If both answers are NO,
either on air gap or a high drain loop (Method 2)
malj be used.
Special consideration for a dishwasher installed
on a pedestal
If the dishwasher is installed on an elevated
platform, a high drain loop of at least 32" above the
platform must be provided in addition to the air gap
requirement determined above. This is necessary for
proper drain performance.
CAUTION
An air gap MUST BE USED if the drain hose is connected to
waste tee or disposer lower than 18" above the floor level.
Failure to provide the proper drain connection height with
an air gap or 32" minimum, high drain loop will result in
improper draining of the dishwasher, which mag cause
damage.

Cabinet Preparation
Drill a 1-1/2" diameter hole in the cabinet wall within
the shaded area shown in Figure A for the drain
hose. Make sure there are no sharp edges. The drain
hose will be passed through this hole and connected
to the drain in a later step.
IMPORTANT- When
connecting the drain line to a
disposer, check to be sure that
