PREPARE CABINET CUTOUT FOR SINK:

1. This dishwasher is designed to fit into a minimum width and

depth of 24".

2. This dishwasher fits under a special sink bowl (either double

or single) with a depth of 6" or less in a 1-1/2" countertop.

Note:

 Dishwasher is not provided with complete enclosure.

Enclosure for sides, top, bottom, and back, must be
provided by installer at time of installation.

Note:

 A gap between the dishwasher tub front flange and the

front of the base cabinet may result due to either the
cabinet being less than 24" deep or the sink bowl not
being installed to specifications.

If the gap is more than 3/4", the sink bowl must be
relocated to meet specified dimensions.

DRAIN REQUIREMENTS

• Follow local codes and ordinances.
• Dishwasher drain hose must not exceed 10 feet in length for

proper drainage.

• Dishwasher must be connected to waste line with an air gap

(not supplied) or 32" minimum, high drain loop depending on
local codes and ordinances to prevent back flow into the
dishwasher.

• Air gap must be used if waste tee or disposer connection is

less than 18 inches above floor to prevent siphoning.

DRAIN PREPARATION

The type of drain installation depends on answers to the
following questions:

l

 Do local codes or ordinances require an air gap?

l

 Will waste tee or disposer connection be less than 18" above

floor?

l

 Will installation have a drain loop less than 32" above floor?

If the answer to 

ANY

 of the 3 questions above is 

YES, Method 1

MUST be used.

 Otherwise either Method 1 or Method 2 may be

used. Figure C or Figure D.

METHOD 1–Air Gap with Waste Tee or Disposer

Install waste tee or disposer and air gap according to
manufacturer’s instructions.

CABINET PREPARATION

Drill 1-1/2" inch diameter hole in the cabinet wall within the
shaded area shown in Figure A for the drain hose. Make sure
there are no sharp edges. Drain hose will be passed through
this hole and connected to the drain in a later step.

Disposer Installation

METHOD 2–High Drain with Waste Tee or Disposer

Provide a method to attach drain hose to underside of
countertop. Attachment will be made in a later step.

• Cut hole 1-1/2" max. dia. within the shaded area to admit the

electrical cable or power cord. The hole must be free of
sharp edges. If the cabinet wall partition is metal, the edge of
the hole must be covered with a rubber protector.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO DISHWASHER

Electrical connection is on right side of dishwasher.
• For cable direct connections the cable must be routed as

shown in Figure E. Cable must extend a minimum of 24" from
the rear wall.

• For power cord connections, install a 3-prong grounding type

receptacle in the rear wall of sink cabinet next to the
dishwasher. The receptacle should be installed at least
6", but not more than 18", from the cabinet opening for
dishwasher.

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 air gap or 32" minimum, high drain loop will
result in improper draining of the dishwasher which may cause damage.
