Drain Specifications
■
For proper drainage, the drain line connection must be a minimum
of 20” (50.8 cm) above the bottom of the dishwasher. No part of the
drain hose can be lower than the disposer or waste tee connection or
higher than 35” (88.9 cm) from the bottom of the dishwasher.
■
The drain hose supplied with the dishwasher
must be connected to a minimum 1/2” inside
diameter drain connection. The drain hose is
equipped with a cone-shaped connector on
the end that is ready to be cut to the desired drain connection size.
Only a clamp (not provided) is required. It fits drain connections with
an internal diameter of 1/2, 5/8, 3/4 and 7/8 inches (1.3, 1.6, 1.8 and
2.2 cm).
■
Should a drain hose longer than the one provided be required, use a
hose extension approved for detergents and high temperature water.
■
Total drain hose length (including factory installed hose) must not
exceed 10 feet. (304.8 cm) from the top of the drain loop on the
back of the unit. Joints and joint tubes must have a minimum inside
diameter of 7/8” (2.2 cm).
■
Install an air gap in the drain system if required by local codes.
Plan the air gap location on the countertop area adjacent to the
dishwasher. A section of drain hose (not provided) needs to be
installed from the air gap to the drain connection.
■
If an air gap is not required, the drain hose must be installed to a
disposer inlet or waste tee above the drain trap in the household
plumbing.
