Electrical Shock Hazard
l
Electrical ground is required
on this appliance.
l
If cold water pipe is
interrupted by plastic, nonmetallic gaskets or other
insulating materials, Do Not
use for grounding.
l
Do Not ground to a gas pipe.
l
Do Not modify the power
supply cord plug. If it does
not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
l
Do Not have a fuse in the
neutral or grounding circuit.
A fuse in the neutral or
grounding circuit could result
in an electrical shock.
l
Do Not use an extension cord
with this appliance.
l
Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt
as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
Failure to follow these
instructions could result in
serious injury or death.
l
If codes permit and a separate
grounding wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified
electrician determine that the
grounding path is adequate.
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,
ANSVNFPA 70-latest edition and
local codes and ordinances.
The dishwasher can be connected
with flexible armored or non-metallic
sheathed copper cable (with
grounding wire).
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 70-
latest 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 (Part No. 302797) must
cover the hole cut in a metal cabinet
for the flexible cord. The flexible cord
must be plugged into a mating threeprong, 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.
Product Damage
l
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.
l
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 3,
Page 4.
l
Do Not kink hose and copper
tubing.
Failure to provide either a 20”
minimum 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 I.D. flexible hose or 5/8”
O.D. 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” I.D.
If drain line is copper, clamp a 12”
length of 9/16” I.D. flexible, heatand detergent-resistant hose to the
end of the copper drain line to
connect to the dishwasher valve.
