Drill a 1-1/2" diameter hole in the cabinet wall within

hose will be passed through this hole and connected 
to the drain in a later step.

 – When  

connecting the drain line to a  

disposer, check to be sure that  

drain plug has been removed.  

Dishwasher will not drain if  

plug is left in place.

CAUTION

An air gap MUST BE USED if the drain hose is connected to 

waste tee or disposer lower than 18" above the floor level. 

Failure to provide the proper drain connection height with 

an air gap or 32" minimum, high drain loop will result in 

improper draining of the dishwasher, which may cause 

damage.
