Location Requirements

Protect dishwasher and water lines leading to dishwasher against
freezing. Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.

If dishwasher will be left unused for a period of time or in a
location where it may be subject to freezing, have it winterized by
authorized service personnel.

The dishwasher is shipped ready for installation of a one-hole
faucet. If a two-, three-, or four-hole faucet is to be installed, the
holes must be added by a qualified plumber, according to the
faucet manufacturer’s specifications.

If the hot water accessory tank, Part No. 4396282 will be used,
the tank should be installed first. It may be difficult to install the
drain line to the T&P valve on the hot water accessory tank, if it is
not installed first.

valve.

For sink faucet:

■ Hot and cold water line.

■ Copper tubing with compression fittings for specific faucet to

appliance is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong
ground plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must
be plugged into a mating 3 prong ground-type outlet, grounded in
accordance with local codes and ordinances.

If a mating outlet is not available, it is the personal responsibility
and obligation of the customer to have a properly grounded
3 prong outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

If dishwasher must be direct wired

■ Use flexible, armored or non-metallic sheathed, copper wire

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

■ Use a CSA-certified, U.L.- or C-U.L.-listed conduit connector

or if using non-metallic sheathed, copper wire, a CSA­certified, U.L.- or C-U.L.-listed cable clamp connector.
