Drain Requirements

A new drain hose is supplied with your dishwasher. If the 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 fits the 1" (2.5 cm) drain connector of the dishwasher.

Note: Do not connect multiple drain hoses together.

Ensure the drain hose is connected to a waste tee or disposer inlet above the drain trap in house plumbing and at least 20" (50.8 cm) above the floor. It is recommended that the drain hose be looped up and securely fastened to the underside of the counter or connected to an air gap.

Use an air gap if the drain hose is connected to house plumbing lower than 20" (50.8 cm) above the subfloor or floor.

Use of air gap: If required, the air gap should be installed in accordance with the air gap installation instructions. 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 fittings.

Water Supply Requirements

This dishwasher has a water heating feature and requires a connection to a hot water supply line.

A hot water line with 20 psi to 120 psi (138 kPa to 827 kPa) water pressure can be verified by a licensed plumber.

• 120°F (49°C) water at dishwasher.
• 3/8" (0.95 cm) O.D. copper tubing with compression fitting or flexible braided water supply line.
• Note: 1/2" (1.3 cm) minimum plastic tubing is not recommended.
