Install where dishwasher is sheltered from the elements.
Avoid possible rupture of fill valve from freezing. Such
ruptures are not covered by the warranty. See the “Vacation
or Extended Time Without Use” section.
Install and level dishwasher on a floor that will hold the
weight and in an area suitable for its size and use.
Remove all shipping plugs from hoses and connectors (such as
the cap on the drain outlet) before installing. See Installation
Instructions for complete information.
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.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Electrically ground dishwasher.
Connect ground wire to green ground connector in
terminal box.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
WARNING
Tip Over Hazard
Do not use dishwasher until completely installed.

Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.
