PLUMBING PREPARATION (continued)
Drain Plumbing
Under Sink Drain Connection
If the dishwasher is to drain either directly into the
household drain plumbing or through an air gap, install a
y-branch tailpiece under the sink as shown in
Figure 7.
Installing an Air Gap
If local ordinances require an air gap, as shown in
Figure 8, install it according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Disposer
Make sure to remove the disposer’s dishwasher drain
connection plug before connecting the dishwasher drain
hose. See
Figure 9.

The dishwasher can be secured into its enclosure in two
ways:
1 Top Mount is used for countertops made of wood
or other materials that can easily drilled. Orient the
mounting brackets as shown in
Figure 10, and
position the two small tabs on the mounting brackets
over the two slots on the dishwasher’s front corners.
Push the mounting brackets down firmly to insert the
tabs into the slots.
2 Side Mount is used for countertops made of marble,
granite, or other very hard materials that cannot be
easily drilled. Bend the mounting brackets along
the small holes and in the same direction as the
two small tabs. Orient the mounting brackets as
shown in
Figure 11, and position the two small
tabs on the mounting brackets over the two slots on
the dishwasher’s front corners. Push the mounting
brackets down firmly to insert the tabs into the slots.
Before installing the supplied countertop
mounting brackets, decide which method of
securing the dishwasher into its enclosure will be
used. Once the mounting brackets are installed
on the dishwasher, removing them is difficult
and will damage the mounting brackets and the
dishwasher.
Avoid Tip Over Hazard
Do not use the dishwasher until it is completely
installed. When opening the door on an
uninstalled dishwasher, carefully open the door
while supporting the rear of the unit. Failure to
follow this warning can result in serious injury.
