GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

■

For a grounded, cord-connected dishwasher:

The dishwasher must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. The dishwasher 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 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 if you are in doubt whether the dishwasher is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the dishwasher; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

■

For a permanently connected dishwasher:

The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipmentgrounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipmentgrounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

It is the customer's responsibility:

■ To contact a qualified electrical installer.

■ To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in

conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.

Requirements:

■ 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15- or 20-amp fused electrical

supply

■ Copper wire only, 2 wire with ground

Recommended:

■ Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker

■ Separate circuit

Direct Wire Connection

■ Use flexible, armored or nonmetalic sheathed, copper wire

with grounding wire that meets the wiring requirements for your home and local codes and ordinances.

■ Use a UL-listed/CSA-approved conduit connector.

Power Supply Cord Connection

Use Power Supply Cord Kit (Part Number 4317824) marked for use with dishwashers. Kit contents include:

■ Voltex, Inc., UL-listed 16-gauge 3-wire power supply cord with

a 3 prong grounding plug

■ Neer C-500 ⁷⁄₈" strain relief

■ 3 wire connectors

■ Grommet (Part Number 302797)

Follow the kit instructions for installing the power supply cord. NOTE: Power supply cord must plug into a mating, grounded

3 prong outlet, located in the cabinet next to the dishwasher opening. Outlet must meet all local codes and ordinances.

IMPORTANT: If you plan to install a garbage disposal, an additional separate 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15- or 20-amp fused electrical supply is required.

Drain Requirements

■ Use the new drain hose supplied with your dishwasher.

NOTE: If a longer drain hose is required:

■ Use a new drain hose with maximum length of 12 ft (3.7 m)

that meets all current AHAM/IAPMO test standards.

■ Use a new drain hose that is resistant to heat and

detergent.

■ Use a new drain hose that fits the 1" (2.5 cm) drain

connector on the dishwasher.

■ Connect drain hose to waste tee or disposal inlet above drain

trap in house plumbing.

■ Connect drain hose to house plumbing 20" (50.8 cm)

minimum above the floor.

NOTE: It is recommended that the drain hose either be looped up and securely fastened to the underside of the counter, or be connected to an air gap.

■ Use a drain air gap if the drain hose is connected to house

plumbing lower than 20" (50.8 cm) above the subfloor or floor.

Drain Air Gap

Water Supply Requirements

■ A hot water line with 20-120 psi (138-862 kPa) water pressure.

■ 120°F (49°C) water temperature at dishwasher.

■ ³⁄₈" O.D. copper tubing with compression fitting or flexible

braided water supply line. NOTE: ½" minimum plastic tubing is not recommended.

■ 90º elbow with ³⁄₈" N.P.T. external pipe threads on one end.

IMPORTANT: Do not solder within 6" (15.2 cm) from water inlet valve.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect electrical power at the fuse box or circuit breaker box before installing dishwasher.

Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

1. Disconnect power.

2. Turn off water supply.

Prepare Cabinet Opening—

Existing Utility Hookups

Follow the steps in this section if you are installing the dishwasher in an existing cabinet opening with utility hookups.

■ Use ½" (1.3 cm) minimum I.D. drain line fittings.

■ If required, the drain air gap should be installed in accordance

with the drain air gap installation instructions. When connecting the drain air gap, a rubber hose (not provided) will be needed to connect to the waste tee or disposer inlet.

NOTE: Do not connect drain lines from other devices to the dishwasher drain hose.

1. Check that the water supply line reaches to the front left-hand

side of the opening where the water connection will be made.

2. Check that the direct wire reaches to the front right-hand side

of the opening where the electrical connection will be made.
