Electrical Requirements
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.

The 3 prong grounded outlet must be installed within 6"
(15.2 cm) to 18" (45.7 cm) of the cabinet side wall.
NOTE: The power outlet must be accessible after installation.
It is recommended that wood cabinetry surrounding the
dishwasher be sealed with an oil-based paint or moisture-proof
polyurethane to prevent possible damage from humidity.
The utility hole must be located as shown. If the hole is not
located as shown, the hoses will prevent the dishwasher from
being pushed back all the way into the cavity. Make sure the
edges of the utility hole are smooth or covered. If the utility hole
is through a metal cabinet, the hole must be protected with the
edge protector provided.
*IMPORTANT: Custom wood door panels, if used, may be wider
than the dishwasher to match surrounding cabinets. The 23-5/8"
(60.0 cm) must be increased so that there is a 1/4" (6.4 mm)
clearance between the cabinet side and panel edge.
For corner installation, there must be a 1/2" (12.7 mm) space
between the adjacent cabinet doors (i.e. door knobs) and open
dishwasher drawer.
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-ground 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 equipment-grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on
the dishwasher.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
A 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15 amp fused electrical supply is
required. (Circuit breaker or time-delay fuse is recommended.) It
is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this
appliance be provided.
4
Garbage Disposer:
If you plan to install a garbage disposer, an additional separate
120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15 or 20 amp fused electrical supply is
required.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Recommended ground method
This appliance must be grounded. This appliance is equipped
with a power supply cord having 3 prong ground plug. To
minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a
mating prong ground-type outlet, grounded in accordance with
local codes and ordinances.
Prepare Cabinet Opening
1. Prepare the cabinet opening by applying self-adhesive
moisture protection tape to the dry dust-free underside
of the countertop.
