The dishwasher comes with an electrical
cord for 110-120 volts, 15/20 amp supplied.
This cord should be plugged into the 110-
120 volt outlet under the sink.
If the cord is not long enough, or if a hard-wire
installation is needed, follow instructions on page 8.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This unit must be grounded to operate properly. It 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 of the appliance.

PREPARING THE DISHWASHER FOR INSTALLATION

At this point the styrofoam, plastic wrap, and the wood
pallet (base) should be removed from the dishwasher.
Now is an excellent time to inspect for any shipping
damage. Should you find any damage, you should
report it to your dealer or builder immediately.
Be sure to remove the toe kick and toe kick insulation
which are wrapped in heavy brown paper and packed
inside or on top of the dishwasher.
SLIDES FOR LEGS
The unit comes with white plastic slides for the legs to
protect the kitchen floor from being damaged when you
slide the unit into place. The slides simply snap onto
the bottom of the legs.
