Installation Preparation

PREPARE ELECTRICAL WIRING

#282 French

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.

#282 French

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.

• Cut a 1-1/2" max. diameter 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.

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).

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.

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.
