Installation Preparation
PREPARE ELECTRICAL WIRING
WARNING
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.
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 and rated for
75°C (176°F).
• 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 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 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
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.
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 and Wire Routing
• The wiring may enter the opening from either
side, rear or the floor within the shaded area
dimensioned in Figure A and illustrated above.
• Cut a 1-1/2" max. dia. hole to admit the electrical
cable. 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 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" max. from the opening,
6" to 18" above the floor. The receptacle must be
accessible and therefore cannot be installed in
the back wall of the dishwasher enclosure.
