6.5 DRAIN PREPARATION
The dishwasher drain hose may be connected to the drain plumbing in one of three ways
(Figure A, B, C).
Notice :
• Either one of the above methods must be used or the dishwasher will not operate
properly.
• A hose that attaches to a sink spray can burst if it is installed on the same water
line as the dishwasher. If your sink has one, it is recommended that the hose be
disconnected and the hole plugged.
• The total length of the drain hose is 763/4” (1950mm). If a hose extension is
required, a drainage hose of equal quality must be used.
• The maximum length must not exceed 157 ½” (4000mm). Otherwise, the cleaning
process is negatively influenced.

6.5.1 UNDER THE SINK DRAIN
Install a Y-branch tail pipe. (Figure A)
Notice :
• You must add a loop at least 28” (710mm) above the floor
of the cabinet and above the drain connection in the drain
hose to prevent waste water from not draining properly,
and causing either poor washing results or a bad odor.
6.5.2 INSTALLING AN AIR GAP
If the local ordinance requires an air gap (Figure B).
Notice :
• Check with local ordinance for type of air gap required.
6.5.3 DISPOSAL
Remove the drain connection plug before attaching the drain
hose from the dishwasher.
Every disposal has a hook up for a dishwasher; consult your
disposer manual for correct connection. (Figure C)
