Prepare cabinet opening using existing utility hookups

Follow the steps in this section if you are installing the dishwasher in an existing cabinet opening with utility

hookups.

®Jf you are installing the dishwasher in a cabinet opening

that does not have hookups, follow the steps under

"Prepare cabinet opening where there are no existing utility hookups" section.

1. Check that the water line reaches to the

front left of opening where the water

connection will be

made.

2. Check that the direct _

wire reaches to the front right of opening 6" (15.2 cm)

where the electrical connection will be made.

If the water line and the direct wire reach far enough into the opening, proceed to the next section "install the drain hose/' Jf they do not reach far enough, follow the steps under "Prepare cabinet opening where there are no existing utility hookups:'

HeJpfuITip: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.

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 1-1/2" to 2" (3.8 to 5 cm) screw-type clampX.

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 bast 20" (50.8 cm) above the floor where dishwasher

will be installed,
