Method 1 – Air Gap with Waste Tee or Disposer
An air gap must be used when required by local codes and ordi-
nances. The air gap must be installed according to manufacturer’s
instructions.
PREPARE DISHWASHER ENCLOSURE
• The rough cabinet opening must be at least 24" deep, 24"
wide and approximately 34-1/2" high from floor to underside
of the countertop.
CLEARANCES:
When
installed into a corner,
allow 2" min. clearance
between dishwasher
and adjacent cabinet,
wall or other appliances.
Allow 28-3/8" min. clear-
ance from the front of
the dishwasher for door
opening. Figure B
DRAIN REQUIREMENTS
• Follow local codes and ordinances.
• Do not exceed 10' distance to drain.
NOTE:
Air gap must be used, if waste tee or disposer
connection is less than 18" above floor to prevent siphoning.
DETERMINE DRAIN METHOD
The type of drain installation depends on the following
questions.
®
Do local codes or ordinances require an air gap?
®
Is waste tee less than 18" above floor?
If the answer to either question is YES, Method 1 MUST
be used.
• If the answers are NO, either method may be used.
CABINET PREPARATION
• Drill a 1-1/2" diameter hole in the cabinet wall within
the shaded areas shown in Figure A for the drain hose
connection. The hole should be smooth with no sharp edges.
IMPORTANT
–
When
connecting drain line to disposer,
check to be sure that drain plug has
been removed. DISHWASHER WILL
NOT DRAIN IF PLUG IS LEFT IN PLACE.
Method 2 – “High Drain Loop” with Waste Tee or Disposer
Tip: Avoid unnecessary service call charges
Always be sure disposer drain plug has been removed before
attaching dishwasher drain hose to the disposer.
