GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

■ For a grounded, 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 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:
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 whether
the dishwasher is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the dishwasher; if it will not
fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
■ For a permanently connected dishwasher:
The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded
metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-
grounding conductor must be run with the circuit
conductors and connected to the equipment-
grounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher.
