Drain Requirements
Use the new drain hose supplied with your dishwasher.
If this 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.
Connect drain hose to waste tee or disposer inlet
above drain trap in house plumbing and 20" (50.8 cm)
minimum above the floor. 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.
,Use an Air gap if the drain hose is connected to house
plumbing lower than 20" (50.8 cm) above subfloor or
floor.
Use 1/2"minimum I.D. drain line fittings.
Water Supply Requirements
A hot water line with 20-120 psi (138-862 kPa) water

A separate circuit.
If direct wiring dishwasher:
Use flexible, armored or nonmetallic sheathed, copper
wire with grounding wire that meets the wiring
requirements for your home and local codes and
ordinances.
Use strain relief method provided with house wiring
junction box or install a UL Listed/CSA Approved clamp
connector to the house wiring junction box. If using
conduit, use a UL Listed/CSA Approved strain relief.
If connecting dishwasher with a power supply cord:
.Use Power Supply Cord Kit (Part Number 4317824)
marked for use with dishwashers. Kit contents include:
- Volex, Inc., UL Listed 16 gauge 3 wire power supply
cord with 3 prong grounding plug.

Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect electrical power at the fuse box or circuit
breaker box before installing dishwasher.
Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.
1. Disconnect power.
2. Turn off water supply.
Prepare cabinet opening using
existing utility hookups
Follow the steps in this section if you are installing the
dishwasher in an existing cabinet opening with utility
hookups.
If you are installing the dishwasher in a cabinet opening
that does not have hookups, follow the steps under
"Prepare cabinet opening where there are no existing
utility hookups" section.
1. Check that the water II
line reaches to the
front left of opening
where the water water
connection will be line
made. I / _
2. Check that the direct I. ,_
wire reaches to the --
front right of opening
where the electrical
connection will be made.
If the water line and the direct wire reach far enough into
the opening, proceed to the next section "Install the drain
hose." If they do not reach far enough, follow the steps
under "Prepare cabinet opening where there are no
existing utility hookups."
Install the drain hose
IMPORTANT: Always use a new drain hose even when
installing a new replacement dishwasher.
1. Drill a 11/2.' (3.8 cm) diameter hole in cabinet wall or
floor on the side of the opening closest to the sink.
L
2. Connect drain hose to waste tee or waste disposer
using one of the following methods:
,Option 1, Waste disposer - with Air gap
,Option 2, No waste disposer - with Air gap
,Option 3, Waste disposer - no Air gap*
,Option 4, No waste disposer- no Air gap*
*AnAir gapisrecommended.
Helpful Tip: To reduce the vibration of the hose, keep
the hose away from the floor and the edge of the hole
where it passes through the cabinet.
Option 1, Waste disposer - with Air gap:
1. Remove the disposer knockout plug. Cut end of drain
hose if needed (do not cut ribbed section).
2. Attach drain hose to Air gap with large spring-type
clamp. If the drain hose was cut, use a 11/2'' to 2"
(3.8 to 5 cm) screw-type clamp*.
3. Use a rubber hose connector* with spring or screw-
type clamps* to connect Air gap to disposer inlet.
This connection must be before the drain trap and at
least 20" (50.8 cm) above the floor where dishwasher
will be installed.

Helpful Tip: Put cardboard under dishwasher until it is
installed in cabinet opening. The cardboard will help
cover floor covering during installation.
8. Measure height of cabinet opening
from underside of countertop to
floor where dishwasher will be
installed (you need the lowest
point). Check chart for that height
