• Do not exceed 10 ft. (3.01 m) of drain hose.
• Do not connect the drain lines from other devices to the dishwasher drain hose.
• The dishwasher must be connected to a waste line with an air gap (not provided) or a 32 in. (81.28 cm) high (min.) drain
loop, depending on local codes and ordinances, to prevent back flow into the dishwasher.
• An air gap must be used if the waste tee or garbage disposal connection is less than 18 in. (45.72 cm) above the floor, to
prevent siphoning.
Drain preparation
The type of drain installation required depends on the answers to the following questions:
• Do local codes or ordinances require an air gap?
• Will the waste tee or garbage disposal connection be less than 18 in. (45.72 cm) above the floor?
• Will installation have a drain loop less than 32 in. (81.28 cm) above the floor?
If the answer to ANY of these questions is YES, Method 1 MUST be used. Otherwise, either Method 1 or
Method 2 may be used.
Caution:
• An air gap MUST BE USED if the drain hose is connected to a waste tee or garbage disposal lower than 18 in. (45.72 cm) above the
floor.
• Failure to provide the proper drain connection height with an air gap or 32 in. (81.28 cm) (min.) high drain loop will result in
improper draining of the dishwasher.
Install the waste tee or garbage disposal connection and air gap according to manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 16: Wet testing the dishwasher
1 Turn on the power supply (or plug the power cord into the outlet, if equipped).
2 Turn on your dishwasher (refer to the User Guide for instructions).
3 Close the door, select the Rinse only cycle, and press START/Cancel.
4 Make sure that water enters the dishwasher. If water does not enter the dishwasher, check to be sure that water and
power are turned on.
5 Check for leaks under the dishwasher. If a leak is found, turn the power supply off, then tighten connections. Restore
power after the leak is corrected.
6 Check for leaks around the door. A leak around the door could be caused by door rubbing or hitting against adjacent
cabinetry. Reposition the dishwasher if necessary. See “Step 9: Position the dishwasher under the countertop on page
16” on page 16.
7 When the dishwasher is draining, check the drain lines. If leaks are found, turn power off at the breaker and correct
plumbing as necessary.
8 Restore the power after corrections are made. See “Step 12: Connecting the water supply line on page 19” on page 19.
9 Open the dishwasher door and make sure that most of the water has drained. If not, check that the disposer plug has
been removed and/or the air gap is not plugged. See “Step 13: Connecting the drain hose on page 19” on page 19. Also
check the drain line for kinking.
10 Run the dishwasher through another fill and drain cycle. Check for leaks and correct if required.
Step 17: Replacing the toekick
• Place the toekick against the legs of the dishwasher. The slots should align with the toekick bracket screw holes. Allow
the toekick to touch the floor. Install the toekick screws.
Make sure that you install the toekick in the correct direction. The toekick should be aligned correctly with the junction box.
Note:
You’ll need:
Phillips screwdriver
