DRAIN HOSE CONNECTION, WATER SUPPLY & ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

DRAIN HOSE CONNECTION

1. Check the parts on the sink to which the drain hose will be connected.
2. There are several ways to insert the drain hose into the drain hose connector of the sink, as shown in the following figures. You must connect the drain hose in accordance with the water pipe installation regulations in your region.
   
   
3. Check the size of the sink’s drain hose connector. If needed, cut the drain hose so its end fits onto the sink connector (5/8 in., 3/4 in. or 1 in. – as shown in C below). If the end of the drain hose does not fit onto the drain hose connector of the sink, use an adaptor purchasable at a plumbing/hardware supply store.
4. Slide a hose clamp over the end of the drain hose. Attach the drain hose to the sink connector, slide the hose clamp to the end of the hose, and then tighten the hose clamp. Note : You must use a hose clamp. Failure to do so may cause water leakage.
5. If there is no air gap, make sure to hang. the middle of the drain hose well above the sink cabinet base to prevent backflow (see Figure E below).
6. When drilling a hole for the drain hose on the cabinet wall, take caution not to damage the drain hose by sharp edges of the hole. On wooden walls, use sanding to soften the edges. On metal walls, use insulation tape or duct tape to cover the sharp edges around the hole.
7. Take caution not the damage the drain hose when installing the dishwasher on the floor, wall, or cabinet. To prevent leaks or drainage problems, make sure the drain hose is not damaged, kinked, or twisted.
8. Do not cut the wrinkled area of the drain hose to fit the size. When arranging the drain hose, take caution not to contact on sharp edges of the cabinet or under-sink.

• Be careful when cutting off the end of the drain hose as there is a risk of injury. Clean around the sink’s drain connection so that it does not damage the hose. Check for any foreign items in the drain hose and remove them.
• When arranging the drain hose, make sure the drain hose is not cut, torn, or broken by any sharp edges of the floor, the product itself, or the cabinet. A damaged drain hose causes a leak.
  

Use hose clamp that shown at the Figure 4. for drain hose assembly to the sink.
