IMPORTANT: Always use a new drain hose even when
installing a new replacement dishwasher.
1. Drill a 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) diameter hole in cabinet wall or
floor on the side of the opening closest to the sink.
2. Connect drain hose to waste tee or waste disposer
using one of the following methods:
• Option 1, Waste disposer – with air gap
• Option 2, No waste disposer – with air gap
• Option 3, Waste disposer – no air gap*
• Option 4, No waste disposer – no air gap*
*an air gap is recommended
Helpful Tip: To reduce the vibration of the hose, keep
the hose away from the floor and the edge of the hole
where it passes through the cabinet.
Option 1: Waste disposer – with air gap:
1. Remove the disposer knockout plug. Cut end of drain
hose if needed (do not cut ribbed section).
2. Attach drain hose to air gap with large spring-type
clamp. If the drain hose was cut, use a 1-1/2" to 2"
(3.8 to 5 cm) screw-type clamp*.
3. Use a rubber hose connector* with spring or screw-
type clamps* to connect air gap to disposer inlet.
This connection must be before the drain trap and at
least 20" (50.8 cm) above the floor where dishwasher
will be installed.
