Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of your dishwasher drain hose:

1. Prepare the Hose Guide: If your drain hose includes a U-shaped hose guide, attach it to the end of the drain hose that will be placed into the sink or standpipe. This guide helps maintain the hose's position and prevents it from slipping out.
2. Connect to Dishwasher: Securely connect the other end of the drain hose to the dishwasher's drain outlet. Ensure the connection is tight, using a hose clamp if required by your dishwasher model or local plumbing codes.
3. Route the Hose: Carefully route the drain hose to the sink or drain pipe. Avoid kinks, sharp bends, or obstructions that could impede water flow. The hose should have a high loop to prevent backflow into the dishwasher.
4. Secure the Hose Guide: Place the U-shaped hose guide over the edge of a utility sink or securely attach it to a standpipe. Ensure it is stable and will not dislodge during the dishwasher's drain cycle.

Operating Instructions

Once installed, the drain hose operates automatically with your dishwasher's wash cycles. Ensure the hose remains free of obstructions and is securely positioned to allow for proper drainage. No manual operation of the drain hose is required during normal dishwasher use.

Maintenance

• Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the entire length of the drain hose for any signs of wear, cracks, punctures, or leaks. Check the connections at both the dishwasher and the drain point for tightness.
• Cleaning: If you notice any blockages or residue buildup inside the hose, disconnect it and flush it with warm, soapy water. Ensure all debris is removed before reattaching.
• Hose Guide Security: Always ensure the U-shaped hose guide is properly attached and securely positioned over the sink edge or standpipe to prevent the hose from falling out during drainage.

Troubleshooting

• Leakage at Connections: If water is leaking from the hose connections, ensure all hose clamps are tightened correctly. Inspect the hose ends and any washers for damage and replace if necessary.
• Poor Drainage or Standing Water: Verify that the drain hose is not kinked, crushed, or obstructed along its length. Check the dishwasher's drain pump and filter for any blockages that might be preventing proper water expulsion.
• Hose Falling Out of Sink: If the drain hose repeatedly falls out of the sink or standpipe, ensure the U-shaped hose guide is properly attached and securely positioned. Consider using additional fasteners if needed to keep it stable.
