Dishwasher Installation
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
Fasten drain hose to underside of countertop with a
hanger.
IMPORTANT – Either one of the above methods must
be used or dishwasher will not operate properly.
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.

INSTALL MOUNTING
BRACKETS
You will need the mounting brackets and 4 of the Phillips-
Head screws set aside in the PREPARATION section.
You must install the mounting brackets onto the
dishwasher tub frame top OR sides prior to sliding
the dishwasher into place under the countertop. The
mounting brackets have several available attachment
positions to accommodate different cabinet
constructions.
TOP MOUNTING OPTION
Install mounting brackets on top if the underside of
countertop is wood or wood-like material that accepts
screws:
IMPORTANT - After installing brackets and before
closing dishwasher door, adjust the brackets by bending
them up as needed, so that they do not contact the top of
dishwasher door and cause damage.
• If you are installing the dishwasher under a counter
with a short overhang, the countertop brackets may
extend beyond the edge of the counter. If this is the
case, remove the excess length by repeatedly bending the
brackets at the front notch only until they break.
