Recommended grounding
method -
1. Disconnect power supply.
2. Run flexible, armored or non-metallic
sheathed, copper cable (with ground-
ing wire) from fused disconnect, circuit
breaker or junction box through the 3/4"
cabinet hole to the dishwasher location.
The cable must extend 24 inches from
the back wall.
The hole cut through a wood cabinet
should be sanded until smooth.
The hole cut through a metal cabinet
must be covered with a grommet (Part
No. 302797), available at your local
dealer or parts supplier.
A U.L.-listed strain relief or conduit con-
nector must be installed at each end of
the power supply cable (at the dish-
washer and at the junction box). Wire
sizes (COPPER WIRE ONLY) must conform
with the rating of the dishwasher.
If codes permit and a separate ground-
ing wire is used, it is recommended that
a qualified electrician determine that the
grounding path is adequate.
A 120-volt, 60.Hz, AC-only, 15 or
20.ampere, fused electrical supply is
required. Time-delay fuse or circuit
breaker is recommended. It is
recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.
The dishwasher must be connected with
copper wire only.
