CONNECT DRAIN HOSE

ASKO provides a 7/8˝ (22 mm) diameter corrugated

drain hose which is connected to the back of the

unit to form a high loop.

NOTE:

Do not use any fittings anywhere in the drain

line that are less than 7/8˝ (22 mm) OD.
The access hole for the drain line should be 1-5/8˝ (41

mm)- 2˝ (50mm) max.
The end of the drain line

is 1/2˝ (12 mm), but it

is adjustable to 7/8˝, 3/4˝, 5/8˝ (22mm, 19 mm,

and 16 mm). If the drain connection is larger than

1/2˝ (12 mm), you can easily cut the drain line to fit

the connection.
The illustrations to the right show three ways to

connect the drain supply line.

THE HIGH LOOP
The high loop is necessary for

proper draining. Therefore, all

ASKO dishwashers have the drain

hoses attached to the drain pump

and fastened to the top back of

the unit, as illustrated. This gives the drain hose an

automatic high loop, which is necessary for proper

draining. The drain hose is fastened at the best

high loop height.
To eliminate potential drain problems, simply leave

this hose in place.
DO NOT REMOVE THE HIGH LOOP ATTACHED TO

THE BACK OF THE DISHWASHER!

IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER:
• Failure to provide the proper drain connection

height (minimum of 20˝ (508 mm) above the

bottom of the dishwasher base) or a 20˝ (508

mm) high loop will result in improper drainage,

which will damage the machine.

• No part of the drain hose should be higher than

35˝ (889 mm) from the bottom of the dishwasher.

• The drain hose can be extended to a maximum

length of 10 feet (3048 mm). Joints and jointed

tubes, if any, must have a minimum 7/8˝ (22

mm) OD.

• If the drain line is going to be connected to a

waste disposer, be sure to remove the knockout

or plug from the fitting on the disposer before

connecting the drain line.

• Do not use fittings smaller than 7/8˝ (22 mm)

OD; otherwise the water may not drain properly.
