Water drainage
– The drain is equipped with a
non-return valve which prevents
waste water from flowing back into
the dishwasher through the drain
hose.
– The dishwasher drain hose should
be connected to a
separate
drain for
the dishwasher only.
If no separate drain is available, we
recommend connecting it to a
dual-chamber siphon.
– The flexible drain hose is 4’ 7" (1.4 m)
long and has an internal diameter of
7
/
8
" (22 mm). Do not cut the drain
hose.
Hose clamps are supplied for
securing it into position.
– The on-site drain connection point
should be located between 1 ft.
(0.3 m) and 3’ 3". (1 m)
above the
lower edge of the machine
.
If it is lower than 1 ft. (0.3 m), bend
the hose in a curve to a height of at
least 1 ft. (0.3 m).
The drainage system must be able to
take a minimum drainage flow of
4.5 gal/min (16 l/min).
– The drain hose must not be
shortened.
,
Make sure the hose is not kinked
or pulled too tight.
See also the installation diagram
supplied.
Venting the drainage system
The drain must be vented if the
connection to the building' s drainage
system is lower than the roller guides
for the lower basket in the door.
Otherwise the water inside the
dishwasher may siphon out during the
wash program.
For venting:
^
Open the dishwasher door
completely.
^
Pull the lower spray arm up to
remove.
^
Cut off the cover of the vent valve in
the wash cabinet.
