IMPORTANT: Routing of the drain hose is most important to insure satisfactory operation. It is not recommended to extend drain line beyond 7 (2.lm). However, should this be necessary, it must always be attached to a line of larger inside diameter. An accessory drain hose extension kit (#904204) is available through your authorized dealer. DO NOT route drain hose across the top of the tub, all bends must be gradual to prevent kinking or collapsing of the hose.

IMPORTANT: Do not attach the drain hose to any connection smaller than l/2??? I.D.

IMPORTANT: Never cut the corrugated portion of the drain hose. All connections must be made to rubber portions of drain hose. If cutting of drain hose is required do not cut past the 5/S??? line.

Refer to diagram A for the following

0 Route the small rubber end of drain hose thru l-1/4??? diameter hole in cabinet into dishwasher opening.

@Route the multi flex end of drain hose to achieve a minimum height of 32??? from the finished floor and

attach to existing drain line*. The retainer clip and screw (provided), should be used to secure the drain hose, to maintain it???s routing at a 32??? height.

SecuringtheDishwasher

Make pilot holes in the underside of counter and drive wood screws, provided in the accessory package, through holes in the dishwasher mounting bracket. If part of the bracket extends beyond the cabinet front, they may be trimmed with wire cutters, provided sufficient material is left to support dishwasher mounting.

Note: Dishwasher must be secured properly to countertop to avoid tipping when the door is open and to prevent the tub from twisting.

Solid Surface Mounting:

It may be necessary to provide an additional anchoring source for mounting screws. Wood strips across the top of the dishwasher opening can be used for solid surface or granite type counters to secure the dishwasher.
