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
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
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.
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.
_¢ _od©©/y @_c___ "_w_ _
• 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: 1/2"minimum plastic tubing is not recommended.
• 90° elbow with 3/8"N.RT. 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.
INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS
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 Air Gap
O
• Use W' (1.3 cm) minimum I.D. drain line fittings.
NOTE: Do not connect drain lines from other devices to the dishwasher drain hose.
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.
Follow the steps in this section if you are installing the dishwasher in an existing cabinet opening with utility hookups.
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.
3. Drill a 1_/_"(3.8 cm) diameter hole in the cabinet wall or floor on the side of the opening closest to the sink.
Connect Drain Hose to Air Gap--Waste Disposal
1. Remove the waste disposal knockout plug. Cut the end of the drain hose, if needed.
NOTE: Do not cut the ribbed section.
