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 hose 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.

• Detach the hose from the tub at locations indicated. 
NOTE: Do not remove high drain loop.
 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, you can purchase 
an extension drain hose - GE Appliances service 
part WD24X10062 (4’ length) or WD24X10065 
(12’ length) which can be connected directly to the 
drain hose already attached to the unit. To use the 
extension, you must cut the drain hose provided with 
the unit as shown. Use a hose cutter or razor blade 
knife to cut the drain hose.
• TOTAL DRAIN HOSE LENGTH MUST NOT EXCEED 
16’ FROM THE REAR OF THE DISHWASHER FOR 
PROPER DRAIN OPERATION.
