• The rough cabinet opening must be at least
24" deep and to 24" wide. The opening
should be to 35" max height.

DRAINREQUIREMENTS:
• Follow local codes and ordinances.
• Do not exceed 10 feet in distance to the drain.
• Do not connect drain lines from other devices
to the dishwasher drain hose.
• Dishwasher must be connected to waste line
with an air gap (not supplied) or 32" minimum
high drain loop, depending on local codes and
ordinances to prevent back flow into the dishwasher. Air gap must be used if waste tee or
disposer connection is less than 18" above the
floor to prevent siphoning.
DRAINPREPARATION:
The type of drain installation depends on answers
to the following questions:
[]

Do local codes or ordinances require installation
of an air gap?
Will waste tee or disposer connection be less
than 18" above the floor?
If the answer to ANY of the 2 questions above is
YES, METHOD 1 MUST BE USED. Otherwise
either Method 1 or Method 2 may be used.
