Cabinet Preparation & Wire Routing

• The wiring may enter the opening from either side, 

rear, or floor within the shaded area illustrated 
above in Figure E.

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

electrical cable. Permanent wiring connections 
may pass through the same hole as the drain 
hose and hot water line, if convenient. Hole edges 
must be smooth and rounded. If the cabinet wall is 
metal, the hole edge must be covered with a cord 
protector.  

NOTE:

 Power cords with plug must pass through a 

separate hole. 

PREPARE ELECTRICAL WIRING

and connected to an individual properly grounded 
branch circuit, protected by a 15 or 20 ampere 
circuit breaker or time delay fuse.

• If the electrical supply does not meet the above 

requirements, call a licensed electrician before 
proceeding.

Grounding Instructions–Permanent Connection

This appliance must be connected to a grounded

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 electric shock by providing a path of 
least resistance for electric current. This appliance 
is equipped with a cord having an equipment 
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug 
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is 
installed and grounded in accordance with all local 
codes and ordinances.
