The dishwasher comes with an electrical cord for 120 volts, 15

amp supplied. This cord should be plugged into the 120 volt

outlet under the sink.
If the cord is not long enough, or if a hard-wire installation is

needed, follow instructions on page 10).

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
T

his 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.

Electrical Requirements

• This appliance must be supplied with 120V, 60Hz., and

connected to an individual properly grounded branch circuit

protected by a 15- or 20-ampere circuit breaker or time-

delay fuse.

• Wiring must be 2 wire with ground and rated for 75°C

(176°F).

• If the electrical supply does not meet the above

requirements, call a licensed electrician before proceeding.

• Do not modify the plug provided with this appliance, if it will

not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified

electrician.

CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY

In order to prevent heat damage to the inlet valve, all solder

connections must be made before the water supply line is

connected.
Flush the water supply line prior to connecting it to the water

fill tube.
The unit has a float switch in the base pan to protect against

flooding. If the inlet valve connection is not seated properly,

water may leak into the base pan and activate the float

switch.
It is important that the water supply line and the shut-off valve

have a sufficient flow volume. At last 3 gallons (12 liters) per

minute must be able to pass through the line. The water pres-

sure should be 4.2-140 psi.

(1) Water supply
(2) Water supply valve (not supplied)
NOTE:
Be sure to run the PEX tubing through the hole to sink
compartment before moving the dishwasher into position.

TESTING FOR LEAKS

1. Turn on the water supply and check for leaks.
2. Turn the power on at breaker/fuse box and test the

dishwasher operation by running a Rinse cycle. (This should

take about four minutes.)

3. Turn off the electrical power and check for leaks under the

dishwasher and sink.

4. Make sure that no kinks have developed in the drain lines.
If there are no leaks and the dishwasher seems to be working

properly, continue with the installation.
