ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The dishwasher comes with an electrical cord for 110
120 volts, 15 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,
see Connecting An Electrical Cable below.
WARNING! Do not use an extension cord for
this appliance.
The power-supply receptacle for the appliance should
be installed in a cabinet or on a wall adjacent to the
undercounter space in which the appliance is to be
installed.
There should be an opening through the partition
between the opening for the dishwasher and the area under the sink that is large enough for the power cord
to pass through. This opening should not be more than 1-1/2 (38 mm) in diameter and the edges should be
smooth and rounded. If the partition is metal it should be covered with an edge protector provided for this
purpose by the manufacturer.
When moving the appliance into or out of the cabinet, be careful not to damage the power-supply cord.
WARNING! Before working on wiring for any electrical appliance, be sure the electrical
power has been turned off at the breaker/fuse box.
WARNING! Disconnect electrical power supply and place a tag at the disconnect
switch indicating that you are working on the circuit.
WARNING! Electrical and grounding connections must comply with the applicable
portions of the national electrical code and/or other local electrical codes.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! This appliance must be properly grounded.
A) Grounding instructions for a grounded, cord-connected appliance
In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
properly 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. Check with a qualified electrician or service
representative or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance
is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance.
If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
B) Grounding instructions for a permanently connected appliance:
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.
