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.
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 (P) 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

″ (120 x 60 mm) opening through the cabinet in
order to pass the junction box through (see
Figure 6)
. If the
opening is made through wood, sand it smooth. If the opening
is made through metal, use the included protective grommet
(I) 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 6
). The electrical supply can
be connected in two ways:
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.

electric supply circuit until you are certain the
circuit is de-energized.
