For models equipped with power cord: 

Do not modify the plug 

provided with the appliance; if it will not fit the outlet, have a 
proper outlet installed by a qualified technician.

Cabinet Preparation & Wire Routing

• The wiring may enter the opening from either side, rear or the 

floor within the shaded area illustrated above in Figure E and 
defined in Figure A.

• Cut a 1-1/2" maximum diameter hole to admit the electrical 

cable. Permanent wiring 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 permanent connections the cable must be routed as 

shown in Figure E. Cable must extend a minimum of 24" from 
the rear wall.

• For power cord connections, install a 3-prong grounding 

type receptacle in the sink cabinet rear wall, 6" min. or 18" 
maximum from the opening, 6" to 18" above the floor. 

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY: Remove house 

fuse or open circuit breaker before 

beginning installation. Do not use an 

extension cord or adapter plug with this 

appliance.
