Follow all local codes and ordinances.
DRAIN LINE PREPARATION
The molded end is designed to fit 5/8", 3/4" or 1" diameter
connections to the air gap, waste tee or disposer. Cut on
premarked line as required for your installation as illustrated
in Figure R.
Note:
DO NOT CUT CORRUGATED PORTION OF HOSE.
If the location requires a longer drain hose, add up to 42" of
length to the factory installed hose. Use 5/8" or 7/8" inside
diameter hose and a short section of copper water pipe of
appropriate length and diameter to connect the two hose ends.
Secure connection with appropriate clamps (not supplied).
Note:
TOTAL DRAIN HOSE LENGTH MUST NOT EXCEED
10 FEET FOR PROPER DRAIN OPERATION.
DRAIN LINE INSTALLATION
Connect drain line to air gap, waste tee or disposer using either
Method 1 or Method 2 as previously determined. Refer to Figure
S or Figure T.
Secure connection using appropriate clamps (not supplied).

Secure the power supply cable to the back of the junction box
with a strain relief (not supplied).
If house wiring is not 2-wire with a ground wire,
a ground must be provided by the installer.
When house wiring is aluminum, be sure to use U.L. Listed

Locate the three dishwasher wires (white, black, and green)
with the stripped ends. Insert the three wires through the small
hole in the junction box bracket. Using wire nuts of appropriate
size, connect incoming ground to green wire, white to white
and black to black, as shown in Figure U. Replace the junction
box cover. Check to make sure that wires are not pinched under
junction box cover.

Step 12
Position dishwasher and fasten to cabinet
Open the door and position the dishwasher tub flange 3/4" from
the cabinet opening. Fasten the dishwasher to the underside of
the countertop, using the 2 Phillips screws provided in Step 1.
Be sure screws are driven straight and flush to avoid interfer-
ence with door operation. See Figure P.
Step 11

leveling legs individually for correct align-
ment. See Figure O.
Dishwasher should be level left to right and
front to back for proper dish rack operation
and dishwasher performance. Dishwasher
door should be in alignment with adjacent
cabinets. See Figure P.
Figure O
