MISE À LA TERRE

Cet appareil doit être mis à la terre. En cas de mauvais fonctionnement ou de bris de l’appareil, la

mise à la terre réduira les risques de choc électrique en offrant un parcours de moindre résistance au

courant électrique. Cet appareil est pourvu d’un cordon à conducteur de terre et d’une fiche de mise

à la terre. Brancher la fiche dans une prise installée adéquatement et mise à la terre conformément

à tous les codes et règlements locaux.

A VER

TISSEMENT

Une mauvaise connexion du conducteur de terre peut présenter des risques de choc électrique.

Consulter un électricien ou un technicien qualifiés, si vous n’êtes pas certain que l’appareil est mis

à la terre adéquatement. Ne pas modifier la fiche de l’appareil. Si elle ne pénètre pas bien dans la

prise, faire installer une prise adéquate par un électricien qualifié.

Attention – Pour votre sécurité :

N'UTILISEZ PAS DE CORDON PROLONGATEUR OU D'ADAPTATEUR 

DE FICHE AVEC CET ÉLECTROMÉNAGER.

NE COUPEZ OU N'ENLEVEZ JAMAIS LA TROISIÈME BROCHE

(MISE À LA TERRE) DE LA FICHE DU CORDON D'ALIMENTATION. 

Le lave-vaisselle doit être mis à la terre conformément aux codes et règlements en vigueur dans

votre région.

Exigences électriques

Cet appareil doit être raccordé à un circuit mis

à la terre de 120 volts, 60 Hz, protégé par un

disjoncteur ou un fusible de 15 ampères.

Si la tension secteur ne satisfait pas aux

exigences ci-dessus, nous

vous recommandons de

faire installer une prise

de courant approuvée par

un électricien qualifié.

• Pendant le fonctionnement de votre lave-

vaisselle, aucun autre appareil ne doit être

branché sur le circuit de votre lave-vaisselle

car votre appareil a besoin de toute la

puissance fournie par le circuit

électrique. 

•  

Si la prise de courant dans

laquelle votre lave-vaisselle est

branché est contrôlée par un

interrupteur, placez

l'interrupteur à ON (marche).

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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.

WARNING

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 whether the appliance
is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance; if it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Caution, for personal safety:

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD OR AN ADAPTER PLUG WITH THIS APPLIANCE.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD GROUNDING
PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.

Dishwasher must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances.

Electrical requirements

This appliance must be supplied with 120V,
60 Hz, and connected to an individual,
properly grounded branch circuit, protected by
a 15 amp circuit breaker or fuse.

If the electric supply
provided does not meet
the above specifications,
it is recommended that a
licensed electrician install
an approved outlet.

• Your dishwasher circuit should not be used for

any other appliance while the dishwasher is in
operation as the dishwasher requires the full
capacity of the circuit.

• 

If the wall receptacle you plug
the dishwasher's power cord
into is controlled by a switch,
turn on the switch.
