Step 10: 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 Figure. You must connect the drain hose in accordance
with the drain pipe installation regulations in your region.

3. Check the size of the sink’s drain hose connector (7/8”) - as shown in Figure 11 on
the next page). If the end of the drain hose does not fit onto the drain hose connector
of the sink, use an adapter 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.
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 backflow (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
floor, wall, or cabinet.

You must use a hose clamp. Failure to do so may cause water leakage.
Step 10: Connecting the Drain Hose Continued
To prevent leaks or drainage problems, make sure the drain hose is not damaged,
kinked, or twisted.
8. Do not cut the corrugated area of the drain hose to fit the size. When arranging the
drain hose, take caution to avoid contact with sharp edges of the cabinet or under-
sink.
Figure 12: Secure the drain hose to the sink wall using cable ties or other fastening
materials. Otherwise, the drain hose may bend at the end causing a drainage
problem or excessive supply of water.

WARNING
Figure 11
Figure 12
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 floor, the product
itself, or the cabinet. A damaged drain hose causes a leak.
