FAQ

• Can I use a longer drain hose than the one provided?
  Yes, you can use a drain hose extension with a maximum length of 12 ft (3.7 m).

• Do I need to install an air gap for the dishwasher?
  It is recommended to either loop up and secure the drain hose to the underside of the counter or connect it to an air gap if required.

DRAIN REQUIREMENTS

•  A new drain hose is supplied with your dishwasher. If drain hose is not long enough, use a drain hose extension with a maximum length of 12 ft (3.7 m).

• Make sure to connect drain hose to waste tee or disposer inlet above drain trap in house plumbing and 20″ (508 mm) minimum above the floor. It is recommended that the drain hose either be looped up and securely fastened to the underside of the counter or be connected to an air gap.
  IMPORTANT: This product is not equipped with a high loop on the side of the dishwasher. The installer is responsible for adding a high loop in the adjacent cabinet. A high loop is required if the dishwasher will drain into a floor drain. This prevents water draw off from the dishwasher during operation. When the drain is connected to a sink drain, counter-top air-gap or disposer, the high loop is generally not required. An check valve internal to the drain prevents back-flow into the dishwasher.

• Make sure to use an air gap if the drain hose is connected to house plumbing lower than 20″ (508 mm) above subfloor or floor.

Use of air gap

• If required, the air gap should be installed in accordance with the air gap installation instructions. When you are connecting the air gap, a rubber hose (not provided) will be needed to connect to the waste tee or disposer inlet.
• Use 1/2″ (13 mm) minimum I.D. drain line fittings.

WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

• This dishwasher maybe fitted with a smart inlet hose with a water cut off valve. Do not cut the water inlet hose for any reason, to install, adapt or shorten.
• This dishwasher has a water heating feature and also requires a connection to a hot water supply line.
• A hot water line with 20 psi to 120 psi (138 kPa to 862 kPa) water pressure can be verified by a licensed plumber.
• 120°F (49°C) water at dishwasher.
• 3/8″ (95 mm) O.D. copper tubing with compression fitting or flexible braided water supply line.
• Included water inlet hose with Leak Detection System for some models.
• Included 3/8″ (9.5 mm) Compression x 3/4″ (19 mm) Water inlet adapter (only for models with Leak Detection System).
• If installed in new construction, make sure the house water supply lines have been flushed prior to connecting the dishwasher to remove any debris that may exist in the supply line.
