Installation Instructions
Finish the Drain Connection
The dishwasher is supplied with a 72” long drain hose.
1.
If a longer drain hose is required, you may add an
extension up to 48” of length. Maximum total drain
hose length is 10 feet. The hose must not restrict the
flow from the drain of the dishwasher to the house’s
drain system. The type of hose used should be
consistent with the type and diameter installed on the
dishwasher.
Cut the end of the drain hose if necessary for the
2.
proper connection size and application. See below.
Secure the drain hose to the air gap, waste tee or
3.
disposer with hose clamps.
Make sure the drain hose is not kinked.
4.
IMPORtANt: When connecting the drain line to the
disposer, check to be sure that the knockout plug on the
disposer has been removed. The dishwasher will not drain
if the plug is in place.

Make sure that there are no sharp bends or kinks in the
1.
line to restrict the water flow.
Insert the water line into the 90° elbow connected to

dishwasher.
Insert the drain hose into the drain access hole made
2.
in the cabinet wall during previous steps.
Slide the dishwasher into the opening a few inches at a
3.
time. As you push it in, pull the drain hose through the
cabinet wall under the sink. Also check to make sure
there is no interference with the house wiring or the
water line.

that the dishwasher is adjusted to the correct height
and is centered in the enclosure.
Open and close the door to insure proper operation.

legs. If the door rubs on the right side of the cabinet,
extend the left rear leg by unscrewing it 1/4 of a turn. If
the door rubs on the left side of the cabinet, extend the
right rear leg by unscrewing it 1/4 turn.
