Grounding Instructions for a Cord- Connected Appliance

This appliance 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. This appliance is equipped with a cord 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 appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance, if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

•Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.

Grounding Instructions for a Permanently Connected Appliance

This unit must be grounded to operate properly. It 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 of the appliance.

Damage to the dishwasher could occur if it is not properly grounded.

A three conductor electrical cable or conduit meeting local codes and ordinances is required. A UL listed strain relief is required if non-metalic cable is used. Suggested color coding: black, white and green.

Circuit Requirements

The wiring from the electrical outlet or junction box shall be connected to a circuit protected by a 15 Amp. circuit breaker or time delay fuse, installed by a licensed electrician.

Water Supply Specifications

warning

In order to prevent heat damage, all solder connections for the water line connected to the water supply valve must be made before the dishwasher water supply line is connected.

•The dishwasher can be connected to a cold or hot water supply (maximum 160°F, 70°C). Dacor recommends using a hot water supply of 120°F (49°C) to 140°F (60°C). If a cold water supply is used, the washing times will be longer, but the performance will not be affected.

•The water supply pressure must be between 4.2 and 140 psi (30 - 1000 kPa). The water supply line and the shut-off valve must supply a flow volume of at least 3 gallons (12 liters) per minute.

•Install a 3/8” water supply valve for connection to the dishwasher’s water supply line in a location where it is easily accessible after the dishwasher is installed.

•The dishwasher water supply line is equipped with a 3/8” (1.0 cm) NPT female compression fitting on the end.
