DRAIN REQUIREMENTS
• Follow local codes and ordinances.
• Do not exceed 10 feet distance to drain.
• Do not connect drain lines from other devices to the
dishwasher drain hose.
• Dishwasher must be connected to waste line with an air
gap (not supplied) or 32" minimum high drain loop,
depending on local codes and ordinances to prevent back
flow into the dishwasher.
• Air gap must be used if waste tee or disposer connection is
less than 18" above the floor to prevent siphoning.
DRAIN PREPARATION
The type of drain installation depends on answers to the
following questions:
Do local codes or ordinances require an air gap?
Will waste tee or disposer connection be less than 18"
above the floor?
Will installation have a drain loop less than 32" above
floor?
If the answer to ANY of the 3 questions above is YES,Method

be used, Figure C or Figure D.
A CAUTION"
An air gap MUSTBEUSEDif the drain hose is connected to
waste tee or disposer lower than 18" above the floor,
Failure to provide the proper drain connection height with air
gap or 32" minimum, high drain loop will result in improper

• Locate the three dishwasher wires, (white, black and green)
with stripped ends. Insert dishwasher wires through the small
hole in the junction box "B".
• Secure house wiring to the bottom of the junction box with
a strain relief "C".
• User wire nuts to connect incoming ground to green, white
to white and black to black "D".
• Replace junction box cover "E". Check to be sure that wires
are not pinched under the cover.
WARNING
If house wiring is not 2-wire with ground,
a ground must be provided by the
