Local codes may permit the use of a
U.L.-listed, flexible, three-conductor,
power supply cord terminated
with a
three-prong,
grounding-type
plug.
It is recommended
that the power
supply cord kit (Part No. 4317824),
available
at your local dealer
or parts
supplier, be used. Follow the instructions
packaged

tub. A strain
relief (Part No. 596171), available
at your
local dealer
or parts supplier, or a similar
part must be used to secure the flexible
power supply cord to the dishwasher
frame or terminal
box. The power
