Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.

The dishwasher comes with a 110–120 V, 15 amp electrical cord, a 5’ PEX inlet hose with 3/8”
compression fitting, and a corrugated drain hose.

Dishwasher Installations

The water supply flow volume should be at least 3 gallons (12 liters) per minute. The water pressure

the supply line in an easily accessible location, such as beneath the sink.

The power supply receptacle should be installed in a cabinet or on a wall adjacent to the undercounter
space in which the dishwasher is installed. If the electrical cord supplied is not long enough or a hard
wire installation is needed, refer to the user’s manual for instructions.

Dishwasher Installations

Be sure to run the PEX water
supply line, drain hose, and power
supply cord through the hole in
the cabinet before moving the
