Electrical Connections; Preparing The Dishwasher For Installation - Viking DFUD042 Installation Instructions Manual

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Electrical and grounding connections must comply with the applicable portions of local electrical codes. WARNING!
Disconnect the electrical power supply and place a tag at the disconnect switch indicating that you are working on the
circuit. The dishwasher comes with a 6' (1.8 cm) electrical cord for 110-120 volts, 15/20 amp supply. This cord should
be plugged into the 110-120 volt outlet located under the sink. If the cord is not long enough or if a hard wire
installation is needed, follow instructions on page 9.
NOTE:
Access holes should be 1 1/2" (3.8 cm) in diameter with no sharp edges.
WARNING:
Be sure electrical power is turned off at circuit breaker or fuse box. Do not use an extension cord for
this appliance.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

equipment-grounding terminal or lead of the appliance.

PREPARING THE DISHWASHER FOR INSTALLATION

The unit comes with two white plastic slides for the rear legs to
protect the kitchen floor from being damaged when you slide the unit
into place. The slides simply snap onto the bottom of the rear legs.
Removing the Toe Kick Brackets and Guard Plate
(This may only be necessary if a hardware installation kit is used.)
To remove the toe kick brackets, pull the gray tabs towards the middle of
the dishwasher. Then, pull straight out on the bracket.
There are six screws that hold the guard plate in place, two on the
upper/underneath side and four on the front. To remove the guard plate,
remove the six screws holding the guard plate. Grip the bottom of the
guard plate and pull it toward you to remove it. You can now access the
inlet valve and electrical connection.
