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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Contact a qualified electrician.
Ensure that the electrical installation is adequate and in
conformance with all national and local codes and ordinances.
Requirements:
120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15- or 20-amp fused electrical
supply
Copper wire only, 2 wire with ground
Recommended:
Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker
Separate circuit
Direct Wire Connection
Use flexible, armored or nonmetalic sheathed, copper wire
with grounding wire that meets the wiring requirements for
your home and local codes and ordinances.
Power Supply Cord Connection
Use Power Supply Cord Kit (Part Number 4317824) marked for
use with dishwashers. Kit contents include:
UL listed 16 gauge 3-wire power supply cord with
3 prong grounding plug
Neer C-500 " strain relief
3 wire connectors
Part No. 302797 grommet
Follow the kit instructions for installing the power supply cord.
NOTE: Power supply cord must plug into a mating three prong,
grounded outlet, located in the cabinet next to the dishwasher
opening. Outlet must meet all local codes and ordinances.
IMPORTANT: If you plan to install a garbage disposal, an
additional separate 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15- or 20-amp fused
electrical supply is required.
