PREPARE DRAIN PLUMBING
DRAIN REQUIREMENTS
• Follow local codes and ordinances.
• If dishwasher is not adjacent to sink, horizontal drain line
should not be longer than 10 feet and should not contain
more than three 90° long radius turns.
DRAIN PREPARATION
A drain hose already connected to the pump outlet
is supplied with the dishwasher. If the drain hose is
not long enough and has to be extended, use a 1/2"
O.D. copper tubing with clamp.
THE RUBBER END OF THE DRAIN HOSE
MAY BE CUT OFF TO ACCOMMODATE THE
FOLLOWING SIZES OF TAIL PIECE OR
WASTE TEE: 5/8", 3/4" OR 1"
Copper
Tubing
Nut
Compression
Ring
Valve
Elbow
PREPARE HOT WATER LINE
Follow local codes and ordinances.
1. The hot water line may enter from either side, the
rear or from the floor within the shaded area
shown in Figure D.
2. Cut a hole approximately 1-1/2” dia. within the
shaded area to admit the line.
3. Turn off the water supply.
4. Install a hand shut-off valve in the supply line in
an accessible location, such as under the sink.
(The shut-off valve is optional, but recommended
and may be required by local codes.)
5. Water connection is on left side of dishwasher.
Install the hot water inlet line, using no less than
3/8” O.D. copper tubing or 1/2” O.D. plastic
tubing. Route line as shown in Figure D. Extend
the water line forward at least 19” from rear wall.
6. The water valve has a 3/8 N.P.T. internal thread.
We recommend use of 90 degrees elbow for
connection of copper tubing to water valve.
(See Figure E)
1. A suggested method of connecting the drain hose
to a WASTE TEE or a Y branch tailpiece on the
existing sink trap is shown in Figure C. They are
made by several manufacturers purposely for
electric dishwashers.
2. When connecting the drain hose to a DISPOSER,
remove hopper plug before making connection.
Install waste tee or disposer according to
manufacturer’s instructions.
Note: be sure to remove drain plug from disposer
before attaching drain line. dishwasher will not
drain if plug is left in place.
CABINET PREPARATION
Drill 1-1/2” inch diameter hole in the cabinet wall
within the shaded area shown in Figure A for the
drain hose. Make sure there are no sharp edges.
Drain hose will be passed through this hole and
connected to the drain in a later step.
1-1/2" Dia.
