Prepare cabinet opening using existing
utility hookups
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 the "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."

Install the drain hose
IMPORTANT: Always use a new drain hose when installing a new
replacement dishwasher.
1. Drill a 1¹⁄₂" (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.
Option 1, Waste disposer - with air gap:
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 1¹⁄₂" 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.
