Drain Requirements
• Use the new drain hose supplied with your dishwasher.
If this is not long enough, use a new drain hose with a
maximum length of 12 feet (3.7 m) that meets all
current AHAM/IAPMO test standards, is resistant to
heat and detergent, and fits the 1" (2.5 cm) drain
connector of the dishwasher.
• Connect drain hose to waste tee or disposer inlet
above drain trap in house plumbing and 20" (50.8 cm)
minimum above the floor. It is recommended that the
drain hose either be looped up and securely fastened
to the underside of the counter, or be connected to an
air gap.
• Use an air gap if the drain hose is connected to house
plumbing lower than 20" (50.8 cm) above subfloor or
floor.
• Use 1/2" minimum I.D. drain line fittings.
Water Supply Requirements
• A hot water line with 20-120 psi (138-862 kPa) water
pressure.
• 120°F (49°C) water at dishwasher.
• 3/8" O.D. copper tubing with compression fitting or
flexible stainless steel braided fill line (1/2" minimum
plastic tubing is not recommended).
• A 90° elbow with 3/8" N.P.T. external pipe threads on
one end.
Do not solder within 6" (15.2 cm) from water inlet valve.
