The 3 prong grounded outlet must be installed within 6" (15.2 cm) to 18" (45.7 cm) of the cabinet side wall.

NOTE: The power outlet must be accessible after installation.

It is recommended that wood cabinetry surrounding the dishwasher be sealed with an oil-based paint or moisture-proof polyurethane to prevent possible damage from humidity.

The utility hole must be located as shown. If the hole is not located as shown, the hoses will prevent the dishwasher from being pushed back all the way into the cavity. Make sure the edges of the utility hole are smooth or covered. If the utility hole is through a metal cabinet, the hole must be protected with the edge protector provided.

*IMPORTANT: Custom wood door panels, if used, may be wider than the dishwasher to match surrounding cabinets. The 23-5/8" (60.0 cm) must be increased so that there is a 1/4" (6.4 mm) clearance between the cabinet side and panel edge.

For corner installation, there must be a 1/2" (12.7 mm) space between the adjacent cabinet doors (i.e. door knobs) and open dishwasher drawer.

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 a cord having an equipment-ground 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

A 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15 amp fused electrical supply is required. (Circuit breaker or time-delay fuse is recommended.) It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
