The type of drain installation depends on answers to the

following questions:

¨ Do local codes or ordinances require an air gap?

¨ Will waste tee or disposer connection be less than 18"

above the floor?

¨ Will installation have a drain loop less than 32" above

floor?

If the answer to ANY of the 3 questions above is YES, Method

1 MUST be used. Otherwise either Method 1 or Method 2 may

be used. Figure C or Figure D.

An air gap MUST BE USED if the drain hose is connected to

waste tee or disposer lower than 18" above the floor.

Failure to provide the proper drain connection height with air

gap or 32" minimum, high drain loop will result in improper

draining of the dishwasher.

• The dishwasher must be installed so that drain hose is no more

than 10 feet in length for proper drainage.

• The dishwasher must be fully enclosed on the top, sides and

back, and must not support any part of the enclosure.
