connection.

WARNING
• Verify that the black wire is hot (120 V). If not, or
if you are unsure of the power supply, have it
checked by a licensed electrician.
CAUTION
• Do not leave stripped wire exposed. Trim
stripped wire to fit completely inside wire nuts.
Connecting the Drain Hose
If the end of the drain hose does not fit the drain
line, use a heat and detergent resistant adapter
(not supplied). These may be obtained from a local
plumbing supply store.

the drain connection.
NOTE
• For drain hose installation, use the screw style
hose clamp provided with this dishwasher in the
silverware basket.
• If connecting the dishwasher’s drain hose to the
garbage disposal, be sure to follow your
garbage disposal’s manual for proper
installation instructions.
Drain Hose Requirements
• Follow local codes and ordinances.
• Do not exceed 12 ft. (3.65 m) distance to drain.
• Do not connect drain hoses from other
appliances to the dishwasher’s drain hose.
• If an extension drain hose is required, use a 5/8"
or 7/8" inside diameter, 2-3 ft. length hose and a
coupler
a for connecting the two hose ends.
Height of the Drain Hose
The height of the drain hose end must be at least
12" (305 mm) and within 40" (1016 mm) from the
base of the dishwasher to avoid water being
siphoned from the tub.
