BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
WARNING
• Remove all power leading to the appliance from the
circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning installation.
Failure to do so can result in a risk of electrical shock.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or injury to persons,
the installer must ensure that the dishwasher is completely
enclosed at the time of installation.
• The improper connection of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or service representative
if you are in doubt that the appliance is properly
grounded. If house wiring is not 2-wire with ground, a
ground must be by the installer. When house wiring
is aluminum, be sure to use UL-Listed anti-oxidant
compound and aluminum-to-copper connectors.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or injury to
persons, the installer should check to ensure that wires are
not pinched or damaged, the house wiring is attached to the
junction box bracket through a strain relief, and all electrical
connections made at the time of install (wire nuts) are
contained inside of the junction box cover.
ADVERTENCIA
• Retire todos los conductores de corriente del
electrodoméstico de disyuntor o de la caja del fusible
antes de comenzar con la instalación. Si no cumple con
esto, se podrá producir el riesgo de descargas eléctricas.
• Para reducir el riesgo de descarga eléctrica, incendio
o lesiones a personas, el instalador debe asegurarse
de que el lavaplatos esté completamente cerrado en
el momento de la instalación.
• La conexión inadecuada del conductor de conexión a
tierra del equipamiento puede provocar un riesgo de
descarga eléctrica. Consulte a un electricista calificado
o representante de servicio técnico si tiene dudas
sobre la correcta conexión a tierra del aparato. Si el
cableado doméstico no cuenta con un cable de 2 hilos
con conexión a tierra, un instalador debe realizar una
conexión a tierra. Cuando el cableado doméstico es de
aluminio, asegúrese de usar un compuesto antioxidante
y conectores de aluminio a cobre aprobados por UL.
• Para reducir el riesgo de descarga eléctrica, incendio
o lesiones a personas, el instalador deberá realizar un
control para asegurar que los cables no estén pellizcados
ni dañados, que el cableado del hogar esté conectado a la
ficha de la caja de empalmes a través de un amortiguador
de refuerzo, y que todas las conexiones eléctricas
realizadas en el momento de la instalación (tuercas para
cables) estén dentro de la tapa de la caja de empalmes.
