How do you hook water line from dishwasher to disposal?

To hook a drain line, not a water line, from the dishwasher to the garbage disposer is as follows:

there is a connection on the garbage disposer for a dishwasher (on the side) There is a plastic fitting that came with the disposer(if all parts were saved) The fitting is going to look like it has barbed ridges(fortubing toslide over)on one end and a flange and seal at the other end.

1) make sure the plastic is knocked out of the disposer where the fitting connects to.

2) Connect fitting to disposer using 2 screws

3) Connect drain hose from dishwasher to disposer by sliding rubber gromet over plastic barbed fitting.

Make sure you cut the rubber gromet to the right size of the fitting

4) Use hose clamp over rubber gromet.

5) Use zip ties to hang drain tubing as high as you can so water wont drain back into dishwasher. (new dishwashers ususally have p-trap built into the drain line already.)

How can you find instructions to make a built in dishwasher?

You first feed in the water supply line from the valve which should be in the kitchen sink compartment. I would highly recommend buying a SS braided hose instead of copper or plastic line. These cost about $10 in Home Depot. Connect this line onto the inlet valve, usually under front left corner as you face it (opposite side to electric box) Next, you move the machine close to the space and thread the drain pipe into the sink compartment, being sure not to kink it. -Now as someone pushes the D/W into place, someone else pulls the drain line through enough to hook onto the drain stub on the sink drain. If there isn't one , you will have to buy an ABS fitting with this and fit it into the drain system. Last, reach under the D/W and pull the electric wire through to wire in at the box, which is always just under the front. Don't forget to put a wire clamp on .

How do you remove pernament marker off of metal?

I used hairspray and it worked REALLY well on finished wood surfaces. The initial treatment left a bit of a hue on our light-colored dresser,(the sharpie was blue) but a second lighter treatment pretty much removed all of it. I used Suave, so maybe if I used a more popular and expensive brand, it would have worked the first time...HAHAHA.....this method also works well on ball-point pen ink. Try to remember to go WITH the grain while using this method.

Your best bet with any surface like this is a product recommended by Sharpie in its FAQ: Amodex Ink and Stain Remover. It's a liquid soap that specializes in removing ink from clothes, so less pourous items like tables and counters (and skin, believe it or not) are easily cleaned by it. All you need to do is pour a little of the Amodex on the stain, let it sit for a moment, and then wipe the soap away.

If a wooden table stain is really set in there, just let the Amodex sit for a longer period of time, and/or use repeat applications. Eventually, even the toughest Sharpie stains should come out.

How do i Remove rust stains from a dishwasher?

Put in "No More Yellow" (not yellow out) into the dishwasher and run it through a cycle. (empty, of course). Then run the dishwasher at least once more to clean out any existing residue.
