Electrical requirements

Electrical Shock Hazard

. Electrical ground is required

on this appliance.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in electrical shock.

Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is

properly grounded.

Disconnect power to the junction box.

. This appliance must be

connected to a grounded,

metallic, permanent wiring system, or a grounding

connector should be

connected to the grounding

terminal or wire lead on

the appliance.

Do Not have a fuse in

the neutral or grounding

circuit. This could result

in electrical shock.

Do Not use an extension

cord with this appliance. Such use may result in a fire, electrical shock or other

personal injury.

Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.

A single phase, 115volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 or 20 ampere, fused electrical supply is required. Timedelay fuse or circuit breaker

is recommended. It is recommended

that a separate circuit serving only

this appliance be provided.

It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact a qualified electrician to assure that the electrical installation is adequate and is in conformance with the

National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA 70-latest edition and local

codes and ordinances. The dishwasher can be connected

with flexible armored or non-metallic

shealhed copper cable (with grounding wire).

A conduit connector must be installed at junction box. Wire sizes (COPPER WIRE ONLY) must conform with the rating of the dishwasher.

Alternate grounding method

If the recommended grounding method is impossible - connect a separate, green grounding wire (No.

16 minimum) from grounding

connection screw located inside the terminal box to a grounded, cold water pipe*. See Figure 3.

Flexible cord connection

Local codes may permit the use of a U.L.-listed, flexible, three-conductor

cord terminated with a three-prong,

grounding-type plug. It is

recommended that cord kit, Part No.

675456, available from your

KitchenAid dealer or parts supplier,

be used. If the cord kit is not

available locally, the flexible cord used must be a three-conductor, 16gauge cord that meets the National

Electrical Code, ANSVNFPA 70latest edition and local codes and

ordinances. The length of the cord

must not exceed six feet. It must be routed so it does not touch the

dishwasher motor or the lower

portion of the dishwasher tub. A

grommet (Par-l No. 302797) must

cover the hole cut in a metal cabinet for the flexible cord.

The flexible cord must be plugged into a mating three-prong, grounding-type wall

receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSVNFPA 70.latest edition and

local ordinances. Follow instructions packaged with the flexible cord.

Water requirements

The hot water line to the dishwasher

must provide between 20-l 20 psi

water pressure. The hot water

heater should be set to deliver 120°F (minimum) water temperature

to the dishwasher (except as noted

in your Use and Care Guide) for best results.

Use l/2” O.D. copper tubing or 3/8” galvanized pipe inlet line. Dishwasher inlet valve has 3/8” internal pipe thread.

Drain requirements

Product Damage

9 The drain line connection to

the house plumbing must be a minimum of 20” above the floor. A lower drain connection may result in siphoning.

9 If the drain is routed to a

connection point less than 20” above the floor, the drain line must form a loop 20” above

the floor. See Figure 5,

Page 4.

Do Not kink hose and copper

tubing. Failure to provide either a 20” mlnlmum connection height or a 20” high loop will result in improper drainage and may cause product damage.

The drain hose should be 9/l 6” minimum ID flexible hose or 5/8” OD copper tubing. A minimum of 22” flexible drain hose or a 12”

length of copper drain line with 12” length of flexible hose added is needed. Flexible hose, resistant to heat and detergent, can be found at plumbing, hardware or automotive supply stores. Do Not use a drain line or fittings less than l/2” ID.

If drain line Is copper, clamp a 12” length of g/16” ID flexible, heat and detergent resistant hose to end of copper drain line to connect to dishwasher valve.
