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 plug. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
: 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 a equipment-
grounding conductor must be run with the circuit
conductors and connected to the equipment-
grounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher.
