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. Edges of hole should be smooth and rounded.
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.
• Use the Power Cord Kit for your dishwasher model.
