1. Disconnect power.

2. Turn off water supply.

■

Follow the steps in this section if you are installing the 
dishwasher in an existing cabinet opening with utility 
hookups.

■

If you are installing the dishwasher in a cabinet opening that 
does not have hookups, follow the steps under “Prepare 
cabinet opening where there are no existing utility hookups” 
section.

1. Check that the water 

line reaches to the 
front left of opening 
where the water 
connection will be 
made.

2. Check that the direct 

wire reaches to the 
front right of opening 
where the electrical connection will be made.

If the water line and the direct wire reach far enough into the 
opening, proceed to the next section “Install the drain hose.” If 
they do not reach far enough, follow the steps under “Prepare 
cabinet opening where there are no existing utility hookups.”

IMPORTANT: Always use a new drain hose 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.

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.

4. Insert drain hose through 

hole cut in cabinet to the 
front center of opening 
where drain connection will 
be made.
