MEETING INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Electrical supply and grounding
To prevent the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, all wiring and grounding must be
done in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/FNPA, No. 70 Latest Revision and
local codes and ordinances. It is the personal responsibility of the appliance owner to provide
adequate electrical service for this appliance.
Never use an extension cord.
When preparing for installation, ensure that you provide:
CAUTION
• An individual branch circuit with a 120 V, 60Hz, 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker that serves
only your dishwasher .
Your dishwasher must be grounded. If your dishwasher malfunctions or breaks down, grounding
will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric
current.
Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
WARNING
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For a permanently connected appliance:
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 then connected to
the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.
Water supply
The hot water supply line pressure must be between 20-120 psi (140-830 kPa).
Adjust the water heater to deliver water between 120 ˚F (49 ˚C) - 149 ˚F (65 ˚C).
Most plumbing supply stores sell water supply lines of various lengths up to 10 feet
(305 cm) long.
You can reduce the risk of leaks and water damage by:
• Making water faucets easily accessible.
• Turning off faucets when the dishwasher is not in use.
• Periodically checking for leaks at water supply line fittings.
Before using your dishwasher for the first time, check all connections at the water supply valve
and faucets for leaks.
WARNING

Never install your dishwasher on a platform or poorly supported structure.
