Electrical Preparation
WARNING
Avoid Electrical Shock Hazard!
Do not work on an energized circuit. Doing so could
result in serious injury or death. Only qualified
electricians should perform electrical work. Do not
attempt any work on the dishwasher electric supply
circuit until you are certain the circuit is de-energized.
WARNING
Avoid Fire Hazard!
Make sure electrical work is properly installed. Only
qualified electricians should perform electrical work.
Electrical Supply
The customer has the responsibility of ensuring that
the dishwasher electrical installation is in
compliance with all national and local electrical
codes and ordinances. The dishwasher is designed
for an electrical supply of 120V, 60 Hz, AC,
connected to a dishwasher-dedicated, properly
grounded electrical circuit with a fuse or breaker
rated for 15 amps. Electrical supply conductors
shall be a minimum #14 AWG copper wire rated at
75°C (167°F) or higher.
WARNING
Avoid Fire Hazard!
Make sure there are no loose electrical connections.
Make sure all electrical connections are properly made.
Grounding Instructions
The dishwasher must be properly grounded before
operating. This appliance 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. Make sure that the dishwasher is
connected to a suitable ground in compliance with
all local codes or, in the absence of a local code,
with the NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the
United States or the CANADIAN ELECTRIC CODE
C22.1-latest edition in Canada as well as any
provincial/state or municipal or local codes that
apply.

Electrical Connection
The dishwasher electrical supply junction box (L)
and dedicated receptacle must be mounted in an
accessible cabinet adjacent to the dishwasher (do
not mount the junction box or receptacle behind the
dishwasher). You will need a 43/4Ǝ x 23/8Ǝ (120 x
60 mm) opening through the cabinet in order to
pass the junction box through (see Figure 5). If the
opening is made through wood, sand it smooth. If
the opening is made through metal, use the
included edge protector (G) or other approved
method to protect wiring from damage. Use the four
screws included (or appropriate fastener) in the
parts bag to securely mount the junction box so that
it can be easily accessed (see Figure 5). The
electrical supply can be connected in two ways:
Figure 5
Method A - Three prong plug and receptacle
Use the included three-prong plug and junction box
to connect to a dedicated household receptacle.
Make sure the household receptacle meets the
electrical supply requirements as well as national
and local codes.
