Connecting 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.

• Cut the adapter so the end matches the size of 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 for connecting the two hose ends.

Connecting to Disposal without Air

Gap

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.

Remove the knockout plug on the disposal

with a hammer and screwdriver.

Remove the knockout plug from the disposal.

CAUTION

• If the knockout plug has not been removed, the

dishwasher will not be able to drain properly.
