extension cord or adapter plug with this
appliance.
Electrical Requirements
• This appliance must be supplied with 120V, 60 Hz., and
connected to an individual properly grounded branch circuit,
protected by a 15 or 20 ampere circuit breaker or time delay
fuse.
• Wiring must be 2 wire with ground.
• If the electrical supply does not meet the above requirements,
call a licensed electrician before proceeding.
Grounding Instructions – Cable Direct
This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and
be connected to the equipment grounding terminal or
lead on the appliance.
Grounding Instructions – Power Cord Models
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electric current. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed
and grounded in accordance with local codes and
ordinances.
WARNING
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.

Cabinet Preparation & Wire Routing
• The wiring may enter the opening from either side,
rear or the floor within the shaded area.

the hole edge must be covered with a bushing.
• Cable direct connections may pass through the same hole as the
drain hose and hot water line, if convenient. If cabinet wall is
metal, the hole edge must be covered with a bushing. NOTE:
Power cords with plug must pass through a separate hole.
