The hole must be free of sharp edges. If the cabinet

wall is metal, the hole edge must be covered  with a

bushing.

Cable direct connections may pass through the same

hole as the drain hose and hot water  line, if convenient.

If cabinet  wall is metal, the hole edge must be covered

with a bushing. NOTE: Power  cords with plug must pass

through a separate hole.

Electrical Connection to Dishwasher

Electrical  connection  is on the right  front of dishwasher .

For cable direct connections  the cable must be routed

as shown in Figure  5. Cable  must extend  a minimum of

24" from  the  rear  wall.

The power -supply receptacle for the 

appliance shall be installed in  a cabinet or on a

wall adjacent to the undercounter space in which the

PREPARE ELECTRICAL  WIRING

Electrical Requirements

This appliance  must be supplied  with 120V, 60 Hz., and

connected to an individual properly grounded branch

circuit, protected by a 15 or 20 ampere circuit breaker

or time delay fuse.

Wiring must be 2 wire with ground.

If the electrical  supply does not meet the above

requirements, call a licensed electrician before

proceeding.

Grounding Instructions 

– Cable Direct

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

be connected  to the equipment  grounding  terminal  or

lead on the appliance.

Grounding Instructions 

– Power  Cord Models

This appliance  must be grounded.  In the event  of a

malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the

risk of electrical  shock by providing  a path  of least

resistance  for electric  current. The plug must be

plugged into an appropriate  outlet that is installed

and grounded in accordance with local codes and

ordinances.

W ARNING

The 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 that

the appliance  is properly grounded.
