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 and rated for 167°F (75°C).
• If the electrical supply does not meet the above
requirements, call a licensed electrician before proceeding.
Grounding Instructions–Permanent Connection
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 electric shock
by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and
grounded in accordance with all 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. Do not modify
the plug provided with the appliance; if it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified technician.
ADVERTENCIA
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. No modifique el
enchufe que se suministra con el aparato; si no calza en el

rounded. Permanent wiring 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 in the cabinet.

24" from the rear wall.
• For power cord connections, install a 3-prong
grounding type receptacle in the sink cabinet rear wall,
6" min. or 18" maximum from the opening, 6" to 18"
above the floor.
