If the dishwasher is installed in a location that experiences freezing temperatures
(e.g. in a vacation home, cabin etc.), you must drain all the water from the
dishwasher’s interior. Water system ruptures that occur as a result of freezing are
not covered by warranty.
6.6 DRAIN PREPARATION
The dishwasher drain hose may be connected to the drain plumbing in one of three ways
(Figure A , B , C ).
NOTICE :
• Either one of the above methods must be used or the dishwasher will not operate
properly.
• A hose that attaches to a sink spray can burst if it is installed on
the same water line as the dishwasher. If your sink has one, it
is recommended that the hose be disconnected and the hole
plugged.
• The total length of the drain hose is 763/4” (1950mm). If a hose
extension is required, a drainage hose of equal quality must be
used.
• The maximum length must not exceed 157 ½” (4000mm).
Otherwise, the cleaning process is negatively influenced.
6.6.1 UNDER THE SINK DRAIN
Install a Y-branch tail pipe. (Figure
A
)
NOTICE :
You must add a loop at least 28” (710mm) above the floor of
the cabinet and above the drain connection in the drain hose
to prevent waste water from not draining properly, and causing
either poor washing results or a bad odor.
6.6.2 INSTALLING AN AIR GAP
If the local ordinance requires an air gap (Figure B ).
NOTICE :
Check with local ordinance for type of air gap required.
6.6.3 DISPOSAL
Remove the drain connection plug before attaching the drain
hose from the dishwasher.
Every disposal has a hook up for a dishwasher; consult your
disposer manual for correct connection. (Figure C )
