GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WATER REQUIREMENTS
For dishwasher:
• Hot water line with 4.3 - 145 psi (30 -1000 kPa)
water pressure.
• 120
°
F (48.8
°
C) water at dishwasher.
• An easily accessible valve with 3/8
″
com-
pression fitting must be installed in the hot
water supply line.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is
used, it is recommended that a qualified elec-
trician determine that the ground path is ad-
equate.
Do not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are not
sure the dishwasher is properly grounded.
A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15-ampere fused
electrical supply is required. (Time-delay fuse
or circuit breaker is recommended.) It is recom-
mended that a separate circuit serving only this
appliance be provided.
Garbage Disposer:
If you plan to install a garbage disposer, an
additional separate 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only,
15 or 20 amp fused electrical supply is re-
quired.
Recommended Ground Method
For your personal safety, this appliance must
be grounded. This appliance is equipped with
a power supply cord having a 3 prong ground
plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the
cord must be plugged into a mating 3 prong
ground-type outlet, grounded in accordance
with local codes and ordinances. If a mating
outlet is not available, it is the personal respon-
sibility and obligation of the customer to have a
properly grounded 3 prong outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
For a grounded, cord-connected dishwasher:
The dishwasher must be grounded. In the
event of a malfunction or breakdown, ground-
ing will reduce the risk of electric shock by
providing a path of least resistance for elec-
tric current. The dishwasher is equipped with
a cord having an equipment-ground conduc-
tor 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 con-
nected to the equipment-grounding terminal
or lead on the dishwasher.
