ASKO provides a 7/8” drain hose which is connected to
the back of the unit to form a high loop. If additional
drain hose is needed, please purchase an additional
ASKO drain hose and joint it to the provided hose with a
7/8” copper tube.
NOTE:
Do not use any fittings anywhere in the drain
line that are less than 7/8" ID.
The access hole for the drain line should be 1-1/2".
The end of the drain line is 1/2”, but it is adjustable to
7/8”, 3/4”, 5/8”. If the drain connection is larger than
1/2”, you can easily cut the drain line to fit the connection.
The illustrations to the right show three ways to connect
the drain supply line.

All ASKO dishwashers have drain hoses attached to
the drain pump and fastened to the top back of the unit.
This gives the drain hose an
automatic high loop
, which
is necessary for proper draining. The drain hose is
fastened at the best high loop height with a plastic zip
tie. To eliminate potential drain problems, simply leave
this hose in place
.

REMEMBER:REMEMBER:
REMEMBER:
♦ Failure to provide the proper drain connection height
(minimum of 20" above the bottom of the dishwasher
base) or a 20" high loop will result in improper
drainage, which will damage the machine.
♦ No part of the drain hose should be higher than 35"
from the bottom of the dishwasher.
♦ The hose must not be drawn straight to a floor well
or its equivalent because it might function as a
siphon and empty the machine.
♦ The drain hose can be extended to a maximum
length of 10 feet. Joints and jointed tubes, if any,
must have a minimum 7/8" ID.
♦ If the drain line is going to be connected to a waste
disposer, be sure to remove the knockout or plug
from the fitting on the disposer before connecting
the drain line.
♦ Do not use fittings smaller than 7/8”; otherwise the
water may not drain properly.
When the installation is ready, open the supply valve
and let the pressure act for a while. Then check that all
connections are tight and there are no leaks.
