Electrical

requirements

Electrical Shock Hazard

• Electrical ground isrequired on this

appliance.

• Do Not ground to gas pipe.

• Do Not modify the power supply

cord plug. If it does not fit the outlet,

have a proper outlet installed by a

qualified electrician.

• Do Not use an extension cord with

this appliance.

• 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.

• Check with a qualified electrician if

you are in doubt as to whether the

appliance isproperly grounded.

Failure to follow these instructions

could result in death or serious injury.

If codes permit and a separate ground-

ing wire is used, it isrecommended that

a qualified electrician determine that the

grounding path isadequate.

A 120-volt, 60-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

(cable 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 --

I. 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 con-

nector must be installed at each end of

the power supply cable (at the dish-

washer and at the junction box). Wire

sizes (COPPER WIRE ONLY) must conform

with the rating of the dishwasher.

box with twist-on wire connectors.

(See Figure 3.)

4. Loosen the front nut

on the grounding

connection stud U-shaped

located on the back wire

of the terminal box. Do

Not loosen the rear nut

on the grounding connection stud.

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, 16-

gauge cord that meets the National

Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 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

ANSI/NFPA 70 -- latest edition,

(*, See Panel A) and all local codes

and ordinances.

Water

The hot water line to the dishwasher

must provide between 15-120 psi water

pressure.The hotwater heatershould be

setto deliver120"Fwater temperature to

the dishwasher forbestresults.

Use 3/8" minimum O.D. copper tubing or

1/2" minimum plastic tubing inlet line.

Dishwasher inlet valve has 3/8"" N.P.T.

internal pipe thread.

Drain

requirements

to floor

The drain hose MUSThave a high drain

loop, 20 inches minimum ABOVE FLOOR,

to prevent backflow or water siphoning

out of dishwasher during operation.

NOTE: An air gap MUSTBEUSEDin

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 1-1/2" hole in

cabinet wall for drain hose. Additional

drain line (a minimum of 1/2""I.D. and no

longer than 20 feet) can be used if

needed.

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.
