Avoid Electrical Shock Hazard
Do not work on an energized circuit. Doing so could
result in serious injury or death. Only qualified
electricians should
perform electrical work. Do
not attempt any work on the dishwasher electric
supply circuit until you are certain the circuit is de-
energized.
Avoid Fire Hazard
Make sure electrical work is properly installed.
Only qualified electricians should perform

Electrical Supply
The customer has the responsibility of ensuring that the
dishwasher electrical installation is in compliance with all
national and local electrical codes and ordinances. The
dishwasher is designed for an electrical supply of 120V, 60
Hz, AC, connected to a dishwasher-dedicated, properly
grounded electrical circuit with a fuse or breaker rated for 15
amps. Electrical supply conductors shall be a minimum #14
AWG copper wire rated at 75°C (167°F) or higher.
Electrical Connection
The dishwasher electrical supply junction box and dedicated
receptacle must be mounted in an accessible cabinet
adjacent to the dishwasher (do not mount the junction box
or receptacle behind the dishwasher). You will need a 41/4''
x 2" (108 x 51ram) opening through the cabinet in order to
pass the junction box through (see Figure 4). If the opening
is made through wood, sand it smooth. If the opening is
made through metal, use the included protective grommet
or other approved method to protect wiring from damage.
Use the four screws included (or appropriate fastener) in the
parts bag to securely mount the junction box so that it can
be easily accessed (see Figure 4). The electrical supply can
be connected in two ways:

Grounding Instructions
This appliance 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. This appliance 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.
The dishwasher must be properly grounded before
operating. This appliance 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. Make sure that the
dishwasher is connected to a suitable ground in compliance
with all local codes or, in the absence of a local code, with
the NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the United States or
the CANADIAN ELECTRIC CODE C22.1-1atest edition in
Canada as well as any provincial/state or municipal or local
codes that apply.
