Starting Your Dishwasher

wWARNING
Tip Over Hazard
Do not use dishwasher until
completely installed.
Do not push down on open door.
Doing so can result in serious injury
or cuts.
• 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 conduc-
tor 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.
