Installation Preparation
For models equipped with power cord: Do not modify the
plug provided with the appliance; if it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified technician.
Cabinet Preparation & Wire Routing
• The wiring may enter the opening from either side, rear or
the floor within the shaded area illustrated in above figure
and defined in PREPARE DISHWASHER ENCLOSURE section.
• Cut a 1-1/2" maximum diameter hole to admit the electrical
cable. Edges of hole should be smooth and rounded.
Permanent wiring connections may pass through the same
hole as the drain hose and hot water line, if convenient. If
cabinet wall is metal, the hole edge must be covered with a
bushing.
NOTE: Power cords with plug must pass through a separate
hole.
Electrical Connection to Dishwasher
Electrical connection is on the right front of dishwasher.
• For permanent connections the cable must be routed as
shown in above figure. Cable must extend a minimum of 24"
from the rear wall.
• For power cord connections, install a 3-prong grounding
type receptacle in the sink cabinet rear wall, 6" min. or 18"
maximum from the opening, 6" to 18" above the floor.
• Use only WXO9X70910 (5' 5" long) or WX09X70911 (7' 11"
long) Dishwasher Power Cord Kit. Do not use an extension
cord or adapter plug with this appliance.

Grounding Instructions–Permanent Connection
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 be connected to the
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.
Grounding Instructions–Power Cord Models
This appliance 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.
This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must

DTXDOL¿HGHOHFWULFLDQRUVHUYLFHUHSUHVHQWDWLYHLI\RXDUH
in doubt that the appliance is properly grounded. If house
wiring is not 2-wire with ground, a ground must be provided
by the installer. When house wiring is aluminum, be sure
to use UL Listed anti-oxidant compound and aluminum-
to-copper connectors.
