Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified elec- trician determine that the ground path is ad- equate.

Do not ground to a gas pipe.

Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the dishwasher is properly grounded.

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

Garbage Disposer:

If you plan to install a garbage disposer, an additional separate 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15 or 20 amp fused electrical supply is re- quired.

Recommended Ground Method

For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. This appliance is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong ground plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3 prong ground-type outlet, grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet is not available, it is the personal respon- sibility and obligation of the customer to have a properly grounded 3 prong outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Power cord must plug into a mating 3 prong, grounded outlet located in the cabinet next to the dishwasher opening. Outlet must meet all local codes and ordinances.

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.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Foragrounded,cord-connecteddishwasher:

The dishwasher must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, ground- ing will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for elec- tric current. The dishwasher is equipped with a cord having an equipment-ground conduc- tor 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.

Forapermanentlyconnecteddishwasher:

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 con- nected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher.
