For a grounded, cord-connected dishwasher:
The dishwasher 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. The dishwasher 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 dishwasher is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the dishwasher; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
For a permanently connected dishwasher:
The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring
system, or an equipment- grounding conductor must be run with the circuit
conductors and connected to the equipment- grounding terminal or lead on the
dishwasher.
