WARNING
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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
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 quali-
fied 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 theoutlet, 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.
Contact a qualified electrician.
Ensure that the electrical installation is adequate
and in conformance with all national and local
codes and ordinances.
You must have:
120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15 or 20 amp fused •
electrical supply.
Copper wire only.
•
We recommend:
A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker. •
A separate circuit. •
If direct wiring dishwasher:
Use flexible, armored or nonmetalic sheathed, •
copper wire with grounding wire that meets
the wiring requirements for your home and
local codes and ordinances.
Use strain relief method provided with house
•
wiring junction box or install a UL-listed/CSA-
certified clamp connector to the house wiring
junction box. If using conduit, use a UL-listed/
CSA-certified conduit connector.
If connecting dishwasher with a power sup-
ply cord:
Use Power Supply Cord Kit (Part Number •
4317824) marked for use with dishwashers.
Kit contents include:
Voltex, Inc., UL listed 16 gauge 3 wire power
•
supply cord with 3 prong grounded plug.
Neer C-500 7/8" strain relief.
•
3 wire connectors. •
Part Number 302797 grommet. •
Follow the kit instructions for installing the power
supply cord.
Power supply cord must plug into a mating •
three prong, grounded outlet, located in the
cabinet next to the dishwasher opening. Outlet
must meet all local codes and ordinances.
IMPORTANT: 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 required.
