PREPARE ELECTRICAL WIRING
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY: Remove
house fuse or open circuit breaker
before beginning installation. Do not use
an extension cord or adapter plug with
this appliance.
Electrical Requirements
• This appliance must be supplied with 120V, 60 Hz., and
connected to an individual properly grounded branch
circuit, protected by a 15 or 20 ampere circuit breaker or
time delay fuse.
• Wiring must be 2 wire with ground and rated for 75
°
C
(176
°
F).
• If the electrical supply does not meet the above require-
ments, call a licensed electrician before proceeding.
Grounding Instructions–Cable Direct
This appliance must be 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.
Grounding Instructions–Power Cord
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk
of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance
for electric current. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
The improper connection of the equip-
ment-grounding conductor can result in
a risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or service represen-
tative if you are in doubt that the appli-
ance is properly grounded.
Electrical Connections to Dishwasher:
The dishwasher junction box is located on the right side
at the front of the dishwasher. The electrical cable must
extend forward at least 24” to reach the junction box
when dishwasher is installed.
• The wiring may enter the opening from either side,
rear or the floor within the shaded area.
• Cut a 1-1/2” max. dia. hole to admit the electrical
cable or use the same hole cut for the drain hose. The
hole must be free of sharp edges. If the cabinet wall is
metal, the hole edge must be covered with a bushing.
• For power cord connections, install a 3-prong ground-
ing type receptacle in the sink cabinet rear wall, 6"
min, or 18" max. from the opening, and 6" to 18"
above the floor.
