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.

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 equipmentgrounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipmentgrounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Contact a qualified electrician. Ensure that the electrical installation is adequate and in

conformance with all national and 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

■

Water Supply Requirements

■

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: ½" minimum plastic tubing is not recommended. 90º elbow with ³⁄₈" N.P.T. external pipe threads on one end.

■

IMPORTANT: Do not solder within 6" (15.2 cm) from water inlet valve.

Use the new drain hose supplied with your dishwasher.

■

NOTE: If a longer drain hose is required:

Use a new drain hose with maximum length of 10 ft (3 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 18" (45.7 cm) above the subfloor or floor.

Drain Requirements

Drain Air Gap

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.

Power Supply Cord Connection

Use Power Supply Cord Kit (Part Number 4317824) marked for use with dishwashers. Kit contents include:

UL listed 16 gauge 3-wire power supply cord with

■

3 prong grounding plug Neer C-500 ⁷⁄₈" strain relief

■

3 wire connectors

■

Part No. 302797 grommet

Follow the kit instructions for installing the power supply cord. NOTE: Power supply cord must plug into a mating three prong,

grounded 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 ½" (1.3 cm) minimum I.D. drain line fittings.

NOTE: Do not connect drain lines from other devices to the dishwasher drain hose.
