Drain hose
Route drain hose 2
Route drain hose as shown through hole in cabinet to the front
center of opening where drain connection will be made. Tape
drain hose to the floor in area shown. This will keep it from moving
when dishwasher is moved into cabinet opening.
IMPORTANT: The drain hose connection of the disposer or a
waste tee must be made before the drain trap and at least 20”
(50.8 cm) above the floor where the dishwasher will be installed.
Helpful Tip: To reduce vibration of the hose, keep the hose away
from the floor.
Route water supply line 3
Slowly route water supply line through hole in cabinet. (If using
copper tubing, it will bend and kink easily, so be gentle.) It
should be far enough into the cabinet opening to connect it to
the dishwasher inlet on the front left side of the dishwasher.
