DRAIN REQUIREMENTS
A new drain hose is supplied with your dishwasher. If drain
hose is not long enough, use a drain hose extension with a
maximum length of 12 ft (3.7 m).
Make sure to connect drain hose to waste tee or disposer
inlet above drain trap in house plumbing and 20" (508 mm)
minimum above the oor. It is recommended that the drain
hose either be looped up and securely fastened to the
underside of the counter or be connected to an air gap.
IMPORTANT: This product is not equipped with a high loop on
the side of the dishwasher. The installer is responsible for adding
a high loop in the adjacent cabinet. A high loop is required if
the dishwasher will drain into a oor drain. This prevents water
draw off from the dishwasher during operation. When the drain
is connected to a sink drain, counter-top air-gap or disposer, the
high loop is generally not required. An check valve internal to the
drain prevents back-ow into the dishwasher.
Make sure to use an air gap if the drain hose is connected to
house plumbing lower than 20" (508 mm) above suboor or
oor.
If required, the air gap should be installed in accordance with
the air gap installation instructions. When you are connecting
the air gap, a rubber hose (not provided) will be needed to
connect to the waste tee or disposer inlet.
Use 1/2" (13 mm) minimum I.D. drain line ttings.

water cut off valve. Do not cut the water inlet hose for any
reason, to install, adapt or shorten.

A hot water line with 20 psi to 120 psi (138 kPa to 862 kPa)
