CONNECTING THE DRAIN HOSE
1.
Check the parts on the sink to which the drain hose will be connected.
2.
There are several ways to insert the drain hose into the drain hose connector of the sink,
as shown in the following fi gures. You must connect the drain hose in accordance with the
water pipe installation regulations in your region.

3.
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 (⅝ in. or 1 in. - 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 below).
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.
