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.
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-grounding
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
It is the customer's responsibility:
• To contact a qualified electrical installer.
• To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in
conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 -
latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.
Requirements:
• 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15- or 20-amp fused electrical
supply
• Copper wire only, 2 wire with ground
Recommended:
• Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker
• Separate circuit
Direct Wire Connection
• Use flexible, armored or nonmetalic sheathed, copper wire
with grounding wire that meets the wiring requirements for
your home and local codes and ordinances.
• Use a UL-listed/CSA-approved conduit connector.
Power Supply Cord Connection
Use Power Supply Cord Kit (Part Number 4317824) marked for
use with dishwashers. Kit contents include:
• Voltex, Inc., UL-listed 16-gauge 3-wire power supply cord with
a 3 prong grounding plug
• Neer C-500 7/8"strain relief
• 3 wire connectors
• Grommet (Part Number 302797)
Follow the kit instructions for installing the power supply cord.
NOTE: Power supply cord must plug into a mating, grounded
3 prong outlet, located in the cabinet next to the dishwasher
opening. Outlet must meet all local codes and ordinances.
IMPORTANT: If you plan to install a garbage disposal, an
additional separate 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15- or 20-amp fused
electrical supply is required.
Use the new drain hose supplied with your dishwasher.
NOTI:: If a longer drain hose is required:
• Use a new drain hose with maximum length of 12 ft (3.7 m)
that meets all current AHAM/IAPMO test standards.
• Use a new drain hose that is resistant to heat and
detergent.
• Use a new drain hose that fits the 1" (2.5 cm) drain
connector on the dishwasher.
• Connect drain hose to waste tee or disposal inlet above drain
trap in house plumbing.
• Connect drain hose to house plumbing 20" (50.8 cm)
minimum above the floor.
NOTE: It is recommended that the drain hose either be looped up
and securely fastened to the underside of the counter, or be
connected to an air gap.
• Use a drain air gap if the drain hose is connected to house
plumbing lower than 20" (50.8 cm) above the subfloor or floor.
Drain Air Gap
• A hot water line with 20-120 psi (138-862 kPa) water pressure.
• 120°F (49°C) water temperature at dishwasher.
• 3/8"O.D. copper tubing with compression fitting or flexible
braided water supply line.
NOTE: Y2" minimum plastic tubing is not recommended.
• 90° elbow with %" N.RT. external pipe threads on one end.
IMPORTANT: Do not solder within 6" (15.2 cm) from water inlet
valve.
INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect electrical power at the fuse box or circuit
breaker box before installing dishwasher.
Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.
1. Disconnect power.
2. Turn off water supply.
• Use V2" (1.3 cm) minimum I.D. drain line fittings.
• If required, the drain air gap should be installed in accordance
with the drain air gap installation instructions. When
connecting the drain air gap, a rubber hose (not provided) will
be needed to connect to the waste tee or disposer inlet.
NOTE: Do not connect drain lines from other devices to the
dishwasher drain hose.
1. Check that the water supply line reaches to the front left-hand
side of the opening where the water connection will be made.
2. Check that the direct wire reaches to the front right-hand side
of the opening where the electrical connection will be made.
