connected to the grounding
terminal or wire lead on
the appliance.
Do Not have a fuse in
the neutral or grounding
circuit. This could result
in electrical shock.
Do Not use an extension
cord with this appliance.
Such use may result in a fire,
electrical shock or other

Flexible cord connection
Local codes may permit the use of a
U.L.-listed, flexible, three-conductor
cord terminated with a three-prong,
grounding-type plug. It is

results.
Use l/2” O.D. copper tubing or 3/8”
galvanized pipe inlet line.
Dishwasher inlet valve has 3/8”
internal pipe thread.
Drain
requirements
Product Damage
9 The drain line connection to
the house plumbing must be
a minimum of 20” above the
floor. A lower drain
connection may result in
siphoning.
9 If the drain is routed to a
connection point less than 20”
above the floor, the drain line
must form a loop 20” above
the floor. See Figure 5,
Page 4.
Do Not kink hose and copper
tubing.
Failure to provide either a 20”
mlnlmum connection height or
a 20” high loop will result in
improper drainage and may
cause product damage.
l
The drain hose should be 9/l 6”
minimum ID flexible hose or
5/8” OD copper tubing. A minimum
of 22” flexible drain hose or a 12”
length of copper drain line with 12”
length of flexible hose added is
needed. Flexible hose, resistant to
heat and detergent, can be found
at plumbing, hardware or automotive
supply stores. Do Not use a drain
line or fittings less than l/2” ID.
If drain line Is copper, clamp a 12”
length of g/16” ID flexible, heat and
detergent resistant hose to end of
copper drain line to connect to
dishwasher valve.

7/8” connectors or special
connectors are available at plumbing
supply houses. Be sure to remove
the disposer knockout or plug
before connecting the drain hose.
Air-gap
Figure 5
If drain hose connection is less

The waste tee connection MUST be
made ahead of the trap and a
minimum of 20 inches above the
floor. Most disposers have 7/8”

Custom wood or other materials
should be l/4” thick. Thinner
materials will need to have a spacer
panel installed behind custom
panel. If custom panel is more than
i/4” thick, the outer edge
will need to be routed as shown.
Custom wood panels need a
waterproof protective finish applied
to all sides and edges of panel.
After custom panels are installed,
check the door tension. The door
should be counterbalanced so it
doesn’t fall open or close when
opened. If the door closes from an
open position, adjust the door-spring
brackets upward to a different hole.
If door falls open too quickly, move
