For a permanently connected appliance:

This appliance must be connected to grounded metal, a 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 appliance.

The dishwasher is very heavy. Do not attempt to move or carry a dishwasher alone. Two or

....... similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

CAUTION

CAUTION

Do not touch the power cable with wet hands.

Do not connect another appliance to the same power outlet as the dishwasher.
Make sure to use a new water supply line. Old lines are susceptible to breakage because

they become hardened and may cause property damage due to a water leakage.
The dishwasher must be connected to a hot water supply between 120 °F(49°C)- 149 °F

(65 °C).This temperature range provides the best washing result and shortest cycle time.
