It is recommended that a shut-off valve (not supplied)
be installed in the hot water supply line in a readily
accessible location, see Figure 9.
N OTE: If connection to an air gap is required
by local code, air gap kits are available from local
plumbing sources. Install the air gap according
to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Drain Hose
The dishwasher comes with a seven (7) foot drain hose.

A 1.25” access hole must be made to allow the
drain hose to be run to the drain connection
location.
IMPORTANT
If no air gap is used and the drain line is
run into a sink or disposer, the drain line
must be elevated to a point higher than the
highest water level of the sink to prevent
back siphoning into the dishwasher.

water lines leading to the dishwasher, as well as
water lines in the dishwasher MUST be protected
against freezing. If the valve or water line freezes,
flooding may occur. Such ruptures are not covered
by the warranty.
