Electrical Shock Hazard
l
Electrical ground is required on this
appliance.
l
Do Not ground to 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 use an extension cord with
this appliance.
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
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 death or serious injury.
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 120-voit, a-Hz, AC-only, 15- or
20-ampere, fused electrical supply is
required. Time-delay fuse or circuit
breaker is recommended. It is
recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.
The dishwasher must be connected with
copper wire only.
Wiring methods
Pick one method to follow, depending
upon your dishwasher and local codes.
A
Direct wire method
(cdble connecting dishwasher
to a junction box).
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect electrical power at the
service panel (fuse box or circuit
breaker box).
Failure to do so could result in death
or serious injury.
Recommended grounding
method -
1. Disconnect power supply.
2. Run flexible, armored or non-metallic
sheathed, copper cable (with ground-
ing wire) from fused disconnect, circuit
breaker or junction box through the 3/4”
cabinet hole to the dishwasher location.
The cable must extend 24 inches from
the back wall.
The hole cut through a wood cabinet
should be sanded until smooth.
The hole cut through a metal cabinet
must be covered with a grommet (Part
No. 302797), available at your local
dealer or parts supplier.
A U.L.-listed strain relief or conduit connector must be installed at each end of
the power supply cable (at the dishwasher and at the junction box). Wire
sizes (COPPER WIRE ONLY) must conform
with the rating of the dishwasher.

Form the bare grounding wire into a
U-shaped hook. Wrap the grounding
wire hook around the grounding
connection stud between the two nuts
on the stud. Securely tighten the front
nut over the grounding wire.
5. Check that strain relief or conduit
connector screws are tight. Replace
terminal box cover.
B.
Power supply cord method
(connecting dishwasher to outlet).
Local codes may permit the use of a
U-L.-listed, flexible, three-conductor,
power supply cord terminated with a
three-prong, grounding-type plug,
It is recommended that the power
supply cord kit (Part No. 4317824),
available at your local dealer or parts
supplier, be used. Follow the instructions
packaged with the power supply cord
kit. If the cord kit is not available locally,
the flexible power supply cord used must
be a U.L.-listed, three-conductor, 16gauge cord that meets the National
Electrical Code, ANSVNFPA 70 - latest
edition (*, See Panel A) and all local
codes and ordinances. The length of the
power supply 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 strain
relief (Part No. 596171), available at your
local dealer or parts supplier, or a similar
part must be used to secure the flexible
power supply cord to the dishwasher
frame or terminal box. The power supply
cord must be plugged into a mating,
3-prong, grounding-type wall
receptacle, grounded in accordance
with the National Electrical Code
ANSVNFPA 70 - latest edition,
(*, See Panel A) and all local codes
and ordinances.

Figure 4
For your personal safety, this appliance
must be grounded. To minimize possible
shock hazard, the power supply cord
must be plugged into a mating 3-prong
grounding-type wall receptacle,
grounded in accordance with National
Electrical Code, ANSVNFPA 70 - latest
edition (*, See Panel A) and all local
codes and ordinances. See Figure 4. If a
mating wall receptacle is not available,
it is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to have a
properly grounded 3-prong wall
receptacle installed by a qualified
electrician. The receptacle should be
installed on the rear or side wall of the
cabinet next to dishwasher opening.
Panel B
requirements
The hot water line to the dishwasher
must provide between 15 120 psi water
pressure. The hot water heater should be
set to deliver 12O’F water temperature to
the dishwasher for best results.
Use 3/8” minimum O.D. copper tubing or
l/2” minimum plastic tubing inlet line.
Dishwasher inlet valve has 3/8” N.P.T.
internal pipe thread.
Drain
requirements
The drain hose MUST have a high drain
loop, 20 inches minimum ABOVE FLOOR,
to prevent backflow or water siphoning
out of dishwasher during operation.
NOTE: An air gap MUST BE USED in
the high drain loop if the drain hose
is connected to house plumbing lower
than 20 inches above the floor.
Drain hose, supplied, meets AHAM DW-1
test standards. Cut l-l /2” hole in
cabinet wall for drain hose. Additional
drain line (a minimum of l/2” I.D. and no
longer than 20 feet) can be used if
needed.
