GROUNDING iNSTRUCTiONS
For a grounded, cord-connected dishwasher:
The dishwasher 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. The dishwasher is
equipped with acord 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 qualified 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 the
outlet, 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 connected to the equipment-
grounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher.
SAVE THESE iNSTRUCTIONS
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 nonmetallic 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 Approved clamp connector to the house wiring
junction box. If using conduit, use a UL Listed/CSA Approved conduit
connector.
If connecting dishwasher with a power supply 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 z/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.
Use the new drain hose supplied with your dishwasher. If this is not
long enough, use a new drain hose with maximum length of 12 ft
(3.7 m) that meets all current AHAM/IAPMO test standards, is
resistant to heat and detergent, and fits the 1" (2.5 cm) drain connector
of the dishwasher.
Connect drain hose to waste tee or disposer inlet above drain trap in
house plumbing and 20" (50.8 cm) minimum above the floor. It is
recommended that the drain hose either be looped up and securely
fastened to the underside of the counter, or be connected to an air
gap.
Drain Air Gap
Use a drain air gap if the drain hose is connected to house plumbing
lower than 20" (50.8 cm) above the subfloor or floor.
Use 1/2" (1.3 cm) minimum I.D. drain line fittings.
