REMOVE HOUSE FUSE OR OPEN CIRCUIT BREAKER BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD OR ADAPTER PLUG WITH THIS APPLIANCE. FOLLOW NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODES OR PREVAILING LOCAL CODES AND ORDINANCES.

Electrical Requirements:

These dishwashers must be supplied with a 120 volt, 60 Hz power supply with an individual, properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a 15 or 20 amp fuse or circuit breaker or time delay fuse.

• Wiring must be 2 wire with ground.
• If electrical supply does not meet the above requirements, call a licensed electrician before proceeding.

Grounding Instructions:

This appliance must be either connected to a grounded-metal permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and be connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.

WARNING

THE IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT - GROUNDING CONDUCTOR CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN OR SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE IF YOU ARE IN DOUBT WHETHER THE APPLIANCE IS PROPERLY GROUNDED.

Alternate Receptacle Location 1-1/2" Dia. Hole (Max.) Receptacle Location Area 18" 6" 18" 6" 3" from Cabinet 2" from Wall 24" Ground Black White

Cabinet Preparation & Wiring:

• Wiring may enter from either side, the rear, or from the floor within the shaded area shown.
• Cut hole 1-1/2" max. diameter within the shaded area to admit the electrical cable or power cord. The hole must be free of sharp edges. If the cabinet wall partition is metal, the edge of the hole must be covered with a rubber protector.

Electrical Connections:

The electrical connection is on the right side of the dishwasher.

• For cable direct connections, the cable must be routed as illustrated. The cable must extend forward a minimum of 24" from the rear wall.
• For power cord connections, install a 3-prong type receptacle in the rear wall of sink cabinet next to the dishwasher. Install the receptable at least 6" and not more than 18" from the dishwasher opening. The receptacle should be at least 6" and not more than 18" off the floor.
• Allow approximately 3" between cable and adjacent cabinetry.

Prepare drain plumbing
