Preparing Electrical Wiring

Operate this appliance with the correct voltage
as shown in this manual and on the rating plate.
Connect it to a dedicated, properly grounded
branch circuit which is protected by a time delay
fuse. Connect the appliance using 3-wires,
including a ground wire.
2
If an outlet and other power connector are used,
it should be in an accessible location adjacent
to and not behind the dishwasher and within 4 ft
(1.2 m) of the dishwasher's side.
3
The wiring must be grounded properly. If in
doubt, have it checked by a qualified electrician.
Do not connect any other appliance to the same
outlet.

Preparing Water Supply
Connection
Make sure the house water supply is turned off
before connecting the dishwasher water lines.
1
Connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply
with a temperature range between 120 °F (49
°C) and 149 °F (65 °C). This temperature range
provides the best washing results and shortest
cycle time. To prevent damage to dishes, the
temperature should not exceed 149 °F (65 °C).
2
When connecting the dishwasher water line,
sealing tape or compound should be used on
pipe threads to avoid leaks. Tape or compound
should not be used on compression fittings.
3
The water supply tube must be located in the left
side channel.
