3. Check the size of the sink’s drain hose connector. If needed, cut the drain hose so its
end ts onto the sink connector (
5
/8 in. or 1 in. - as shown in Figure 9 below). If the end
of the drain hose does not t onto the drain hose connector of the sink, use an adaptor
purchasable at a plumbing/hardware supply store.
4. Slide a hose clamp over the end of the drain hose. Attach the drain hose to the sink
connector, slide the hose clamp to the end of the hose, and then tighten the hose
clamp.
NOTE
You must use a hose clamp. Failure to do so may cause water leakage.
5. To prevent backow, secure the drain hose to the side or back wall of the kitchen
cabinet using cable ties or other xtures. Make sure the drain hose height is at least
10 inches from the sink connector. (See Figure 10.)
6. When drilling a hole for the drain hose on the cabinet wall, take caution not to damage
the drain hose by sharp edges of the hole. On wooden walls, use sand paper to soften
the edges.
On metal walls, use insulation tape or duct tape to cover the sharp edges around the
hole.
7. Take caution not the damage the drain hose when installing the dishwasher on the
oor, wall, or cabinet.
