sufficient. On models including a power cord, the cord
will extend 4 feet from the back of the dishwasher.
NOTE: A shut-off valve in an accessible location on
the water line is recommended. Flush the water line

, With the dishwasher now in permanent position, connect the drain hose to the drain.
IMPORTANT: NEVER CUT THE CORRUGA TED POR T/ON OF THE DRAIN HOSE.All connections must be
made on the rubber portion of the drain hose. This
hose can be sized to fit any 5/8",3/4"or 1"diameter =,- I '

Routing of the drainhose is most important toinsure
satisfactory operation. N©TE: We do not recommend
that the drain line be extended beyond the 7 feet of
hose provided.However. should this be necessary, it
must always be attached to a line of larger inside
diameter. Do not route the hose across the top of the
tub. If a rubber hose is used as an extension to the
corrugated drain hose, all bends must be gradual to
prevent kinking or collapsing of the hose. The hose
oi must beguided as the dishwasher ispushed into place
in the cabinet.
[
I
! IMPORTANT: The hose may change position even
afterinstallation. To insure proper operation, secure
the hose to either side ofthe wall of the cavity, or to the
tub with the hose hook to assure a 32" loop.Make
ce_ain there are no kinks.
IMPORTANT: Do not attach the drain hose to any
connection of smaller than 1/2" I.D.
From the 32" high drain loop as previously describec
