Connecting the Hot Water Supply
There are two plastic corrugated hoses that exit the back of
the dishwasher. The larger hose, with the brass fitting on the
end, is the water supply hose to the dishwasher (the other
hose is the dishwasher drain hose). You will need a 3″ x 1

″
(76 x 45 mm) opening through the cabinet to pass the dish-
washer water supply line through toward the shut off valve.
To connect the hot water supply:
1. Assemble the water supply adaptor fitting (H) from the
parts bag onto the dishwasher water supply hose. This
connection does not require Teflon brand tape.
2. Pass the dishwasher water supply line with attached
adaptor through the opening toward the water shut off
valve. Take care not to allow the hose to kink or twist
behind the dishwasher.
3. Connect the dishwasher water supply line with adaptor to
the water shut off valve. You will need to use an approved
dishwasher water supply line with the correct fittings for
this connection. Always use the appropriate seal when
making plumbing connections.
NOTE: The end of the dishwasher water inlet hose is
heavy and will need to be supported. It is best to lay the
end on the cabinet floor as shown in
Figure 9
.
4. After all connections are made, turn on the hot water and
check for leaks.
The dishwasher drain hose may be connected to the house-
hold or field drain plumbing in one of four ways. You will need
a 1¼" diameter hole in order to pass the drain hose through
the cabinet.

3 To the under sink dishwasher drain connection through
an air gap, as shown in

.
4 To a disposer dishwasher drain connection through an air
gap, as shown on
Figure 14
.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
· If local ordinance require an air gap, install it according
to the manufacturer’s instructions.
· If the dishwasher drain hose is to be connected to a
disposer dishwasher drain connection, remove the plug
from the disposer’s dishwasher drain connection.
· The dishwasher drain hose must have one place along
its length that is securely attached 20″ (508 mm) above
the cabinet floor.
· The drain hose length can be extended if necessary. The
maximum length of the drain hose, including the hose
leading to the air gap, is 150″ (3800 mm).
