WARNING
Do not install the dishwasher unless the electrical •
service provided meets the dishwasher specifications
(see page 5).
A qualified technician must complete the installation •
of this built-in appliance. The owner is responsible
to make sure the dishwasher is properly installed.
Improper connection of the electrical wiring may
create an electric shock or fire hazard and may result
in damage to the dishwasher’s electrical system.
To avoid an electrical shock hazard, turn off power •
to the electrical outlet or junction box at the circuit
breaker panel or fuse box before proceeding. Do not
turn on the power or water supply until instructed to
do so on the following pages.
Do not allow any material, including the hoses or •
electrical wiring to be directly behind the dishwasher
while pushing it into the cut-out opening. Carefully
pull the slack out of both hoses and the wiring from
outside the cut-out during push back to prevent
pinching. An electric shock hazard or water damage
may result from pinched wires or hoses. Damage due
to improper installation is not covered under warranty.
