supply circuit until you are certain the

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. If the dishwasher is connected with a
food disposer, a 20 amp (and no higher) fuse or circuit
breaker may be used. Electrical supply conductors shall
be a minimum #14 AWG copper wire.
Regardless of where the electrical supply cable enters
the enclosure (following the guidelines on page 9),
position the cable 21" (533mm) from the enclosure's left
side, as shown in Figure 5, letter A so that it will line up
properly with its channel in the dishwasher base when
the dishwasher is placed in its enclosure. Extend the
cable 30" (762mm) from the enclosure's back, as shown
in Figure 5, letter B.
Remove 3" - 4" (75mm - 100mm) of the cable's outer
casing, as shown in Figure 6, letter C, then remove 3/8"
- 1/2" (9 - 13mm) of insulation from each conductor, as
shown in Figure 6, letter D.
