Before Using Your Dishwasher
WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard
Electrically ground dishwasher.
Connect ground wire to green ground nut
in terminal box.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to do so can result in death, fi re, or
electrical shock.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
• For a grounding, cord-connected
dishwasher:
The dishwasher must be grounded. In the
event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electric
shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electric current. The
dishwasher is equipped with a cord having
an plug. The plug must be plugged into
an appropriate outlet that is installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
WARNING:
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualifi ed
electrician or service representative if you are
in doubt whether the dishwasher is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided
with the dishwasher. If it will not fi t the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualifi ed
electrician.
• For a permanently connected
dishwasher:
The dishwasher must be connected to
a grounded metal, permanent wiring
system, or a equipment-grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit
conductors and connected to the
equipment grounding terminal or lead on
the dishwasher.

Very Important Information - Read Before
Operating Your Dishwasher!
Normal Operating Sounds
This dishwasher does not sound like most dishwashers -
IT'S QUIETER.
Your dishwasher with it's Direct Feed Wash System uses
energy effi cient motors for the wash and drain portions
of the cycle you select. Each cycle has a series of
water fi lls and drains for washing and rinsing dishes. As
each cycle begins, you may-or may not- hear the drain
motor. The next sound you will hear is the splashing
water as it enters the tub.
PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you compare this
dishwasher to previous models, you may be
surprised at what you DON'T hear.
Tip Over Hazard
Do not use dishwasher until
completely installed.
Do not push down on open door.
Doing so can result in serious injury or
cut.
NOTE
Why Energy Effi cient Units run long
cycles: Several factors are important
to washing dishware. The energy use
of the dishwasher was reduced by
applying more of the factors that don't
use so much energy and less of the ones
that use more. As a result, you will see
that the wash cycles take longer.
