not being installed to specifications.

If the gap is more than B/4", the sink bowl must be relocated to meet specified dimensions.

Installation Preparation-Drain

PREPARE DRAIN PLUMBING Drain Requirements

• Followlocalcodes and ordinances.

• Drainhose must notexceed 10 feetinlength,

• A highdrainlooporairgap isrequired.See below.

Drain Method

The type of drain installation depends on the following:

• Do local codes or ordinances require an air gap?

• Is waste tee less than 18" above the floor? If the answer to either question is YES,on air gap

(Method 1) must be used. If both answers are NO, either on air gap or a high drain loop (Method 2)

maLj be used.

CAUTION

An air gap MUST BE USED if the drain hose is connected to waste tee or disposer lower than 28" above the floor level.

Failure to provide the proper drain connection height with an air gap or 32" minimum, high drain loop will result in

improper draining of the dishwasher, which mag cause

damage.

METHOD 1-Air Gap with Waste Tee or Disposer
