Electrical Shock Hazard
DRAIN REQUIREMENTS
■ A new drain hose is supplied with your dishwasher. If drain
hose is not long enough, be sure to purchase only Whirlpool
factory-certi ed parts. To order, refer to the contact information
referenced in your Quick Start Guide.
NOTE: Do not connect multiple drain hoses together.
■ Make sure to connect drain hose to waste tee or disposer
inlet above drain trap in house plumbing and 20" (50.8 cm)
minimum above the  oor. It is recommended that the drain
hose either be looped up and securely fastened to the
underside of the counter or be connected to an air gap.
■ Make sure to use an air gap if the drain hose is connected to
house plumbing lower than 20" (50.8 cm) above sub oor or
 oor.
■ If required, the air gap should be installed in accordance with
the air gap installation instructions. When you are connecting
the air gap, a rubber hose (not provided) will be needed to
connect to the waste tee or disposer inlet.
■ Use 1/2" (1.3 cm) minimum I.D. drain line  ttings.
Use of air gap
■ A 90° elbow with 3/4" (0.95 cm) hose connection with rubber
washer.
■ Do not solder within 6" (15.2 cm) of the water inlet valve.
■ If installed in new construction, make sure the house water
supply lines have been  ushed prior to connecting the
dishwasher to remove any debris that may exist in the supply
line.
IMPORTANT: Do not kink or pinch water line, drain hose,
power cord, or direct wire between dishwasher and cabinet.
Remove cardboard from under dishwasher (if used).
NOTE: If replacing an existing dishwasher, it is recommended
to install a new water line and drain hose (supplied) with the
new dishwasher.
NOTE: If using a  exible braided hose, replace inlet hose
after 5 years to reduce the risk of hose failure. Record hose
installation or replacement dates on the hose for future
reference.
