Plumbing Requirements

Drain Connection

IMPORTANT: A 72" drain hose is supplied with the product.

Should a longer drain hose be required, use a hose

approved for detergents and high temperature water. The

drain hose supplied with the dishwasher meets an AHAM

DW-1 test standard. Longer drain hoses should not be

longer than a total of 10 ft. in length.

Review the different ways shown to connects the

dishwasher to the drain system. Choose the method

that best suits your need and meets local codes and

ordinances.

You must install an air gap in the drain if the drain hose

is connected to household plumbing lower than 20 in.

(50.8 cm) from the floor or if required by local codes.

Plan for the air gap in the sink or countertop area

adjacent to the dishwasher. A section of drain hose (not

provided) needs to be installed from the air gap to the

disposal or waste tee. The drain hose is routed from

the dishwasher to an air gap inlet as shown. Air gap

kits are available from a plumbing supply store.

If an air gap is not required, the drain hose must be

installed to an inlet or waste tee above the drain trap in

the household plumbing. If you connect to a sink drain,

entry will need to be above the trap. Use a "Y" branch

tailpiece and connector kit (not include) for this method.

It includes all needed fittings and instructions.

Hot Water Supply

• The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 p.s.J.

(138-827 kPa). The household hot water heater must

supply a minimum of 120 °F water to the dishwasher

location for best results.

• Install a valve for the hot water supply line where it is

easily accessible after the dishwasher is installed.

• Be sure the water inlet is protected from freezing. If the

valve freezes and ruptures, flooding may occur.

Determine the amount of tubing needed to connect

the hot water supply to the unit's water inlet valve.

Copper tubing must have a minimum of 3/8" OD. High-

pressure and high-temperature rated plastic tubing with

a minimum inner diameter of 1/4" may be used.
