DRAIN PREPARATION
The type of drain installation required depends on the answers to the following questions:
• Do local codes or ordinances require an air gap?
• Will the waste tee or garbage disposal connection be less than 18 in.
above the floor?
• Will installation have a drain loop less than 32 in. above the floor?
If the answer to ANY of these questions is YES, Method 1 MUST be used. Otherwise,
either Method 1 or Method 2 may be used.
Install the waste tee or garbage disposal connection and air gap according to
manufacturer’s instructions.
An air gap MUST BE USED if the drain hose is connected to a waste
tee or garbage disposal lower than 18 in. above the floor.
Failure to provide the proper drain connection height with an air
gap or 32 in. (min.) high drain loop will result in improper draining
of the dishwasher.
WARNING
DRAIN REQUIREMENTS
• Follow all local codes and ordinances.
• Do not exceed 10 ft. of drain hose.

• The dishwasher must be connected to a waste line with an air gap (not provided)
or a 32 in. high (min.) drain loop, depending on local codes and ordinances, to
prevent back flow into the dishwasher.
• An air gap must be used if the waste tee or garbage disposal connection is less
than 18 in. above the floor, to prevent siphoning.
