INSTALL THE DRAIN HOSE
IMPORTANT:
•
Always use a new drain hose even when installing a new replacement
dishwasher.
•
To reduce the vibration of the hose, keep the hose away from the floor and the
edge of the hole where it passes through the cabinet.
1. Drill a 11/2" (3.8 cm) diameter hole in cabinet wall or floor on the side of the
opening closest to the sink.
2. Connect drain hose to waste T or waste disposer using one of the following
methods.
•
Option 1, Waste disposer - with air gap
•
Option 2, No waste disposer - with air gap
•
Option 3, Waste disposer - no air gap*
•
Option 4, No waste disposer - no air gap*
*an air gap is recommended
Option 1, Waste disposer - with air gap:
1. Remove the disposer knockout plug. Cut end of drain hose if needed (do not cut
ribbed section).
2. Attach drain hose to air gap with large spring-type clamp. If the drain hose was
cut, use a 11/2" to 2" (3.8 to 5 cm) screw-type clamp*.
3. Use a rubber hose connector* with spring or screw type clamps* to connect air
gap to disposer inlet.
This connection must be before the drain trap and at least 20" (50.8 cm) above the
floor where dishwasher will be installed.
