Method 1 – Air Gap with Waste Tee or Disposer 
An air gap must be used when required by local codes and ordi-
nances. The air gap must be installed according to manufacturer’s 
instructions.
PREPARE DISHWASHER  ENCLOSURE
• The rough cabinet opening must be at least 24" deep, 24" 
wide and approximately 34-1/2" high from floor to underside 
of the countertop. 
CLEARANCES: 
• When installed into a corner, 
allow 2" min. clearance 
between dishwasher and 
adjacent cabinet, wall or other 
appliances. Allow 28-3/8" min. 
clearance from the front 
of the dishwasher for door 
opening. Figure B.
• Allow at least 6" between 
dishwasher and range or 
oven appliances.
DRAIN REQUIREMENTS
• Follow local codes and ordinances.
• Do not exceed 15' distance to drain.
NOTE: Air gap must be used, if waste tee or disposer 
connection is less than 18" above floor to prevent siphoning.
DETERMINE DRAIN METHOD
The type of drain installation depends on the following 
questions.
• Do local codes or ordinances require an air gap?
• Is waste tee less than 18" above floor?
If the answer to either question is YES, Method 1 MUST  
be used.
• If the answers are NO, either method may be used. 
CABINET PREPARATION
• Drill a 1-1/2" diameter hole in the cabinet wall within 
the shaded areas shown in Figure A for the drain hose 
connection. The hole should be smooth with no sharp edges.
IMPORTANT –
 When  
connecting drain line to disposer,  
check to be sure that drain plug has  
been removed. DISHWASHER WILL  
NOT DRAIN IF PLUG IS LEFT IN PLACE.
Method 2 – “High Drain Loop” with Waste Tee or Disposer
Tip: Avoid unnecessary service call charges.
Always be sure disposer drain plug has been removed before 
attaching dishwasher drain hose to the disposer.
Figure D
• The dishwasher must be installed so that drain hose is no 
more than 12' in length for proper drainage.
• The dishwasher must be fully enclosed on the top, sides and  
back, and must not support any part of the enclosure.
