Electrical Connection
The dishwasher electrical supply junction box (P) and
dedicated receptacle must be mounted in an accessible
cabinet adjacent to the dishwasher (do not mount the
junction box or receptacle behind the dishwasher). You
will need a 4
3/4
" x 2
3/8
" (120 x 60 mm) opening through
the cabinet in order to pass the junction box through (see
Figure 6
). If the opening is made through wood, sand
it smooth. If the opening is made through metal, use
the included protective grommet (I) or other approved
method to protect wiring from damage. Use the four
screws included (or appropriate fastener) in the parts
bag to securely mount the junction box so that it can be
easily accessed (see
Figure 6
). The electrical supply
can be connected in two ways:
Method A - Three prong plug and receptacle
Use the included three-prong plug and junction box to
connect to a dedicated household receptacle. Make sure
the household receptacle meets the electrical supply
requirements as well as national and local codes.

rated at 75°C (167°F) or higher.
Grounding Instructions
The dishwasher must be properly grounded before operating.
This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal per-
manent 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
