CONNECTING AN ELECTRIC CABLE
If the cord is not long enough, or if a hard-wire installation is needed, follow the steps below to complete the
electrical connection.
WARNING! Before working on wiring for any electrical appliance, be sure the electrical
power has been turned off at the breaker/fuse box.
1. Remove the access panel by removing the two screws on each side
of the access panel that hold the fill strips in place. Next, remove the
two screws underneath the panel that hold it against the guard plate.
After you have removed all four screws, slide the access panel down
below the two tabs at the top to remove it.
2. Remove the toe kick brackets by holding the small metal spring tab
on the outer edge of the base pan toward the outside of the machine.
Continue holding the tab as you pull straight out on the bracket. (Note:
It may be stubborn because it’s in guide slots on the base pan.) See
page 10 for instructions on how to adjust the toe kick brackets.
3. Remove the guard plate by removing the three phillips-head screws
that hold the guard plate in place, one on the upper/underneath side
and two on the front.
After the screws are removed, grip the bottom of the guard plate and
pull it toward you to remove it. You can now access the inlet valve,
electrical connection, and drain pump and hose.
4. Remove the supplied power cord.
5. Connect supply cable with a UL-listed strain relief bushing (if
nonmetallic cable is to be used).
6. Connect branch circuit white lead to white lead on
main terminal block, as illustrated at right.
7. Connect branch circuit black lead to brown lead on
main terminal block, as illustrated.
8. Connect ground wire to ground on terminal block,
as illustrated.
9. Replace the guard plate.
10. Replace the toe kick brackets and toe kick (see page 9).

Making the Connection
TESTING FOR LEAKS
1. Turn on the water supply and check for leaks.
2. Turn the power on at breaker/fuse box and test the dishwasher operation by running a Rinse cycle. (This
should take about four minutes.)
3. Turn off the electrical power and check for leaks under the dishwasher and sink.
4. Make sure that no kinks have developed in the drain lines.
If there are no leaks and the dishwasher seems to be working properly, continue with the installation.
