install the drain hose

IMPORTANT: Always use a new drain hose even when installing a new replacement dishwasher.

1. Drill a 1-1/2" (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 tee or waste disposer

using one of the following methods:

o Option 1, Waste disposer- with air gap

Option 2, No waste disposer- with air gap

® Option 3, Waste disposer - no air gap x

Option 4, No waste disposer - no air gap x

Prepare cabinet opening using existing utiJitv hookups

Follow the steps in this section if you are installing the

if the water line and the direct wire reach far enough into

the opening, proceed to the next section "install the drain

hose/' if they do not reach far enough, follow the steps under "Prepare cabinet opening where there are no existing utility hookups."

Helpful Tip: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 clamp x-,

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

wiii be installed.
