DRAIN REQUIREMENTS
■ A new drain hose is supplied with your dishwasher. If drain
hose is not long enough, use a new drain hose with a
maximum length of 12 ft (3.7 m) that meets all current AHAM/
IAPMO test standards, is resistant to heat and detergent, and
ts the 1" (2.5 cm) drain connector of the dishwasher.
NOTE: Do not connect multiple drain hoses together.
■ Make sure to connect drain hose to waste tee or disposer
inlet above drain trap in house plumbing and 20" (50.8 cm)
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.
■ Make sure to use an air gap if the drain hose is connected to
house plumbing lower than 20" (50.8 cm) above suboor or
oor.
Use of air gap
■ 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" (1.3 cm) minimum I.D. drain line ttings.
WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
■ This dishwasher has a water heating feature and also requires
a connection to a hot water supply line.
■ A hot water line with 20 psi to 120 psi (138 kPa to 862 kPa)
water pressure can be veried by a licensed plumber.
■ 120°F (49°C) water at dishwasher.
■ 3/8" (0.95 cm) O.D. copper tubing with compression tting or
exible braided water supply line.
NOTE: 1/2" (1.3 cm) minimum plastic tubing is not
recommended.
■ A 90° elbow with 3/4" (0.95 cm) hose connection with rubber
washer.
■ Do not solder within 6" (15.2 cm) of the water inlet valve.
■ If installed in new construction, make sure the house water
supply lines have been ushed prior to connecting the
dishwasher to remove any debris that may exist in the supply
line.
NOTE: If replacing an existing dishwasher, it is recommended
to install a new water line and drain hose (supplied) with the
new dishwasher.
