STEAM PROTECTION FOIL

• Steam will form inside the dishwasher during operation. At the end of the cycle, when the dishwasher door is opened, it is required to use a steam protection foil to prevent any steam from collecting on the underside of the countertop.

FITTING THE PROTECTION FOIL

• Before applying the steam protection foil to the underside of the countertop, clean the area with a damp cloth (as shown in Figure A). Once the area dries, apply the steam protection foil.
• The steam protection foil will be applied at the location where the hot steam escapes when you first open the door (as shown in Figure B).

CONNECTING THE DRAIN LINE

CONNECTION INFORMATION

DRAIN HOSE CONNECTION

Connect the drain hose to the drain plumbing.

1. Use the supplied rubber connection hose and drain hose clamps to connect the dishwasher drain hose to the plumbing drain connection.
2. Use the spring clamp to secure the rubber connection hose to the dishwasher drain hose. Use the screw clamp to secure the rubber connection hose to the plumbing drain connection.

Note that the marks on the rubber connection hose should be on the drain hose side.

DRAIN PREPARATION

The dishwasher drain hose may be connected to the drain plumbing in one of three ways (Figure A, B, C).

NOTICE :

• One of the drain connections shown in the illustrations must be used or the dishwasher will not operate properly.
• A hose that attaches to a sink spray can burst if it is installed on the same water line as the dishwasher. If your sink has one, it is recommended that the hose be disconnected and the hole plugged.
• The total length of the drain hose is “approx. 7 feet” (1950mm). If a hose extension is required, a drainage hose of equal quality must be used.
• The maximum length must not exceed “approx. 13 feet” (4000mm). Otherwise, the cleaning process is negatively influenced.

UNDER THE SINK DRAIN

Install a tailpipe. (Figure A)

• NOTICE: You must add a loop at least 28” (710mm) above the floor of the cabinet and above the drain connection in the drain hose to prevent wastewater from not draining properly, and causing either poor washing results or a bad odor.

INSTALLING AN AIR GAP

• NOTICE: Check with a local ordinance for the type of air gap required.
• If the local ordinance requires an air gap (Figure B).

DISPOSAL

• Be sure to remove the plug inside the connection point on the disposer before connecting the drain hose.
• Every disposal has a hook-up for a dishwasher; consult your disposer manual for the correct connection. (Figure C)

UNDER THE SINK DRAIN (ALTERNATIVE)

• Due to the local building code requirements, some dishwasher installations require hooking up.
• Since the connection diameter is different than standard discharge hose connections, please use the connector piece provided with the machine with the instructions illustrated.

FINISHING STEPS

INSTALLING THE TOE KICK BRACKETS
