Check the size of the sink’s drain hose connector. If needed, cut the drain hose so its end
fi ts onto the sink connector (1" or 5/8" - as shown in Figure 11 below). If the end of the drain
hose does not fi t onto the drain hose connector of the sink, use an adaptor purchasable at a
plumbing/hardware supply store.
4.
Slide a hose clamp over the end of the drain hose. Attach the drain hose to the sink
connector, slide the hose clamp to the end of the hose, and then tighten the hose clamp.
Note : You must use a hose clamp. Failure to do so may cause water leakage.
5.
If there is no air gap, make sure to hang. the middle of the drain hose well above the sink
cabinet base to prevent backfl ow (see Figure 13 on the next page).
6.
When drilling a hole for the drain hose on the cabinet wall, take caution not to damage the
drain hose by sharp edges of the hole. On wooden walls, use sand paper to soften the edges.
On metal walls, use insulation tape or duct tape to cover the sharp edges around the hole.
7.
Take caution not the damage the drain hose when installing the dishwasher on the fl oor, wall,
or cabinet.
To prevent leaks or drainage problems, make sure the drain hose is not damaged, kinked,
or twisted.
8.
Do not cut the wrinkled area of the drain hose to fi t the size. When arranging the drain hose,
take caution not to contact on sharp edges of the cabinet or under-sink.
• Be careful when cutting off the end of the drain hose as there is a risk of injury. Clean
around the sink’s drain connection so that it does not damage the hose. Check for
any foreign items in the drain hose and remove them.
• When arranging the drain hose, make sure the drain hose is not cut, torn, or broken
by any sharp edges of the fl oor, the product itself, or the cabinet. A damaged drain
hose causes a leak.
