dishwasher before making the direct wire connection.

Make Power Cord Connection

Option A, Power Cord
Do not disconnect the green, black, or white dishwasher wires
already attached to the terminal box. There should be adequate
length in these wires to pull the terminal box out from under the
dishwasher if you lift the wires off of the nearby clips or
components being used to keep them off the floor.
Use a ¹⁄₄" nut driver or ¹⁄₄" hex-head socket wrench to remove the
screw that holds the terminal box to the cross brace. Then, tilt the
terminal box, free the tab and lift the terminal box away from the
crossbar. Remove the cover by sliding it up and lifting its hooks
out of the slots. Retain cover for later use.
Install a UL Listed/CSA Approved metallic strain relief. Make sure
screw heads are facing up when tightening conduit nut. Strain
relief is provided with the power cord kit. See the "Tools and
Parts" section at the front of the guide for part details and orders.
Route cord so that it does not touch dishwasher motor or lower
part of dishwasher tub. Pull cord through strain relief in terminal
box.
Note: A maximum of two power cord supply conductors (12 AWG
largest size) plus one grounding conductor are permitted in the
terminal box
WARNING

Electrically ground dishwasher.
Connect ground wire to green ground connector in

Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Remove the ground connector screw on the raised floor inside the
box and place it through the ring terminal of the green ground wire
of power cord. Reattach and tighten the ground connector screw
to the raised floor of the box.
