Grounding Instructions–Cable Direct

This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and be connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.

Grounding Instructions–Power Cord Models

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 resis- tance 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.

The 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 that the appliance is properly grounded. For models equipped

If cabinet wall is metal, the hole edge must be covered with a bushing. NOTE: Power cords with plug must pass through a separate hole.

Electrical Connection to Dishwasher

Electrical connection is on the right front of dishwasher.

For cable direct connections the cable must be routed as shown in Figure E. Cable must extend a minimum of 24" from the rear wall.

For power cord connections, install a 3-prong ground- ing type receptacle in the sink cabinet rear wall, 6" min. or 18" max. from the opening, 6" to 18" above the floor.
