Grounding Instructions
The dishwasher must be properly grounded before
operating. This appliance 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. Make sure
that the dishwasher is connected to a suitable ground in
compliance with all local codes or, in the absence of a
local code, with the NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in
the United States or the CANADIAN ELECTRIC CODE
C22.1-latest edition in Canada as well as any provincial/
state or municipal or local codes that apply.

Retrieve the strain relief plate, and install a strain
relief (not supplied) into the opening on the strain
relief plate.
NOTE:
Orient the strain relief as shown in
Figure 30
.
2
Pass the electrical supply cable through the strain
relief, as shown in
Figure 31
. Make sure the outer
wire casing extends about 1/2” (13mm) through the
strain relief.

Outer Wire
Casing
Temperatures required for soldering and sweating
will damage the dishwasher’s water inlet valve.
If plumbing lines are to be soldered or sweated,
keep the heat source at least 6 inches (152.4 mm)
away from the dishwasher’s water inlet valve.
• If using a solder joint instead of a compression fitting,
be sure to make all solder connections before
connecting the water line to the dishwasher.
• Make certain there are no sharp bends or kinks in the
water line that might restrict water flow.
• Be sure to use pipe thread compound or Teflon brand
tape to seal the connection when required.
• Before connecting the copper hot water supply line
to the dishwasher, flush it with hot water to clear any
foreign material.
• Turn on the water supply to check for leaks after
making connections.
NOTE:
Do not
use pipe sealant on compression fittings.
