BEFORE INSTALLATION
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
• As with all equipment using electricity, water, and moving parts, potential hazards
exist. To safely operate this appliance, become familiar with its operation and
exercise care when using it.
• The dishwasher must be properly grounded. Never connect it to an ungrounded outlet.
• For a permanently connected appliance, the dishwasher must be connected to
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 appliance.
• The dishwasher is very heavy at roughly 100 pounds. Do not attempt to move or
carry a dishwasher alone. Two or more people are needed to move a dishwasher
and avoid potential injuries.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
• To ensure the dishwasher is properly grounded, connect the ground wire to the green
ground connector in the junction box. Refer to page 20 for further details on proper
electrical wiring connections.
• Do not use an extension cord for this appliance.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or injury to persons, the installer must ensure
that dishwasher is completely enclosed at the time of installation.
Prior to removal of the original dishwasher and the installation of your
new unit, make sure to switch off your circuit breaker. Do not connect the
dishwasher until you have fully completed the installation. Connecting
the power cable is the last step when installing the dishwasher. All wiring
and grounding must be done in accordance with the electrical code
applicable to the region.
CAUTION
Do not touch the power cable with wet hands. Do not connect
another appliance to the same power outlet as the dishwasher.
Doing so increases the risk of electrical shock.
WARNING
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electric
shock:
