Installation Specifications

warning

•Do not install the dishwasher unless the electrical service provided meets the dishwasher specifications (see page 5).

•A qualified technician must complete the installation of this built-in appliance. The owner is responsible to make sure the dishwasher is properly installed. Improper connection of the electrical wiring may create an electric shock or fire hazard and may result in damage to the dishwasher’s electrical system.

•To avoid an electrical shock hazard, turn off power to the electrical outlet or junction box at the circuit breaker panel or fuse box before proceeding. Do not turn on the power or water supply until instructed to do so on the following pages.

•Do not allow any material, including the hoses or electrical wiring to be directly behind the dishwasher while pushing it into the cut-out opening. Carefully pull the slack out of both hoses and the wiring from outside the cut-out during push back to prevent pinching. An electric shock hazard or water damage may result from pinched wires or hoses. Damage due to improper installation is not covered under warranty.
