l

If codes permit and a separate grounding wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the grounding path is adequate.

A single phase, 115volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15- or 20-ampere, fused electrical supply is required. Time- delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact a qualified electrician to assure that the electrical installation is adequate and is in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSVNFPA 70-latest edition and local codes and ordinances.

The dishwasher can be connected with flexible armored or non-metallic sheathed copper cable (with grounding wire).

A conduit connector must be installed at junction box. Wire sizes (COPPER WIRE ONLY) must conform with the rating of the dishwasher.

Flexible cord connection

Local codes may permit the use of a U.L.-listed, flexible, three-conductor cord terminated with a three-prong, grounding-type plug. It is recommended that cord kit, Part No. 675456, available from your KitchenAid dealer or parts supplier, be used. If the cord kit is not available locally, the flexible cord used must be a three-conductor, 16- gauge cord that meets the National Electrical Code, ANSVNFPA 70- latest edition and local codes and ordinances. The length of the cord must not exceed six feet. It must be routed so it does not touch the dishwasher motor or the lower portion of the dishwasher tub. A grommet (Part No. 302797) must cover the hole cut in a metal cabinet for the flexible cord. The flexible cord must be plugged into a mating three- prong, grounding-type wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSVNFPA 70-latest edition and local ordinances. Follow instructions packaged with the flexible cord.

Water requirements

The hot water line to the dishwasher must provide between 20-l 20 psi water pressure. The hot water heater should be.set to deliver 120°F (minimum) water temperature to the dishwasher (except as noted in your Use and Care Guide) for best results.

Use l/2” O.D. copper tubing or 3/8” galvanized pipe inlet line. Dishwasher inlet valve has 3/8” internal pipe thread.

Drain requirements

Product Damage

l The drain line connection to the house plumbing must be a minimum of 20” above the floor. A lower drain connection may result in siphoning.

l If the drain is routed to a connection point less than 20” above the floor, the drain line must form a loop 20” above the floor. See Figure 3, Page 4.

l Do Not kink hose and copper tubing.

Failure to provide either a 20” minimum connection height or a 20” high loop will result in improper drainage and may cause product damage.

The drain hose should be 9/l 6” minimum I.D. flexible hose or 5/8” O.D. copper tubing. A minimum of 22” flexible drain hose or a 12” length of copper drain line with 12” length of flexible hose added is needed. Flexible hose, resistant to heat and detergent, can be found at plumbing, hardware or automotive supply stores. Do Not use a drain line or fittings less than l/2” I.D.

If drain line is copper, clamp a 12” length of 9/16” I.D. flexible, heat- and detergent-resistant hose to the end of the copper drain line to connect to the dishwasher valve.
