Installation Instructions
CONNECT DRAIN LINE 
(CONT.)
• Connect drain line to air gap, waste tee or disposer 
using the previously determined method. Secure 
hose with a screw-type clamp.
Method 1 – Air gap with waste tee or disposer
Method 2 – “High drain loop” with waste tee or 
disposer 
With this method you will need the drain hose hanger 
set aside in Step 1. 
Fasten drain hose to underside of countertop with the 
provided hanger.
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.
Tip: Avoid unnecessary service call charges for a 
no drain complaint.
Make sure excess drain hose has been pulled through 
the cabinet opening. This will prevent excess hose 
in the dishwasher cavity from becoming kinked or 
crushed by the dishwasher.

CONNECT DRAIN LINE
The molded end of the drain hose will fit 5/8” through 1” 
diameter inlet ports on the air gap, waste tee or disposer.
• Determine size of inlet port.
• Cut drain hose connector on the marked line, if required, 
to fit the inlet port.
• If a longer drain hose is required, replace the 
provided user bag drain hose with GE Appliances 
service part WD24X10065, a 12’ long hose which 
can be connected directly to the drain loop already 
attached to the unit (see Step 7). If service part hose 
is not available, an additional hose with coupler, ID of 
5/8” or 7/8” and no longer than 66”, may be attached 
to the provided user bag drain hose. Secure the 
connection with hose clamp (obtain locally) to the 
provided user bag drain hose.
NOTE: 
•  TOTAL DRAIN HOSE LENGTH MUST NOT EXCEED 
16’ FROM THE REAR OF THE DISHWASHER FOR 
PROPER DRAIN OPERATION.
