Remove plug from pump drain port. Some water from factory quality testing may drip when plug is removed.
DO NOT remove any other drain parts.
Connect drain hose by sliding hose end over drain port until firmly seated. Position hose clamp so screw head
is on a horizontal plane and faces front of machine. Tighten securely. (Do not over tighten.)
With dishwasher in permanent position, clamp drain hose to a properly sized drain line.
TIP: If draining into the disposer, check to make sure disposal plug has been removed.
Drain Hose Attachment
Positioning & Leveling Dishwasher
Make pilot holes in the underside of counter and drive wood screws, provided in
the accessory package, through holes in the dishwasher mounting bracket. If part
of the bracket extends beyond the cabinet front, they may be trimmed with wire
cutters, provided sufficient material is left to support dishwasher mounting.
Note: Dishwasher must be secured properly to countertop to avoid tipping
when the door is open and to prevent tub from twisting.
Solid Surface Mounting:
It may be necessary to provide an additional anchoring source for mounting screws. Wood strips across the top of the
dishwasher opening can be used for solid surface or granite type counters to secure dishwasher.
TIP: Refer to countertop manufacturer for complete details on securing dishwasher to countertop.

With the door latched, guide dishwasher into the cabinet.
Route water line, electrical supply and drain hose to left side of motor and
above rear support bar.
Front & rear leveling legs position the dishwasher vertically & horizontally.
A combination of these adjustments are necessary to properly level the dish-
washer and to insure proper fit of door and latch.
Dishwasher must be level, stable and square. Improper leveling may
result in diswasher leaking.
TIP: When installing dishwasher near a corner, allow enough room for the
door to open without interfering with any cabinets, drawers, or hardware.
TIP: Disregard the squareness of cabinet opening in relation to dishwasher.
- The tub side trim may be positioned and/or trimmed to fill gap.
