ed to a dishwasher-dedicated, properly grounded electrical cir-

plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet
that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
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
