2. INSTALLATION
WARNING
When installing the dishwasher, follow
basic precautions, including the
following:
• The dishwasher installation must be
performed in accordance with the
installation manual. If you did not receive
an installation manual order it by calling
1-800-- or you may also download
it from our web site at
www.VXPPLWappliances.com
• Installation, maintenance and repair should
be performed by a qualified installer. Work
by unqualified persons could be dangerous
and may void the warranty.
• Do not operate the appliance if damaged,
malfunctioning, partially disassembled or if
it has missing or broken parts.
• Before installation or service, disconnect
the power supply to the work area by
unplugging the unit, “tripping” the circuit
breaker or removing the fuse.
• Only connect the dishwasher to the power
supply when all installation and plumbing
work is complete.
• Do not install or store the dishwasher
where it can be exposed to below freezing
temperatures or exposed to weather.
• Dishwasher must be secured to adjacent
cabinetry using the brackets provided.
Failure to do this may cause damage to
property or bodily injury.
• Connect to a properly rated, protected
and sized power supply circuit to avoid
electrical overload. The dishwasher is
designed for an electrical supply of 120 V
(volts), 60 Hz (hertz), AC, connected to a
dishwasher-dedicated, properly grounded
electrical circuit with a fuse or breakers
rated for 15 amperes. Electrical supply
conductors shall be a minimum of # 16
AWG copper wire rated at 75 °C (167 °F)
or higher. These requirements must be met
to prevent injury and machine damage.
Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
• Do not use any extension cord or portable
outlet device to connect the dishwasher to
a power supply.

• Remove the door to the washing
compartment when removing an old
dishwasher from service or discarding it.
