Electrical Connection for a Portable/Convertible Dishwasher
An electrical supply of 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amps is required. For
your safety, the dishwasher must be grounded. If there is a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce risk of electrical shock. This dishwasher has
a power cord with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a mating
3-prong grounding type receptacle, installed and grounded in accordance with
the National Electrical Code and any local codes and ordinances.

dealer or distributor. Instructions are included with the kit.
Avoid fire hazard or
electrical shock. Do not
use an adapter plug,
extension cord or remove
grounding prong from
