Grounding Instructions:
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

connected to the appliance’s equipment grounding terminal

qualified installer to make sure the electrical installation

conforms with the National Electrical Code and local codes

and ordinances.
Do not connect the dishwasher to the power supply until the

appliance is permanently grounded.
All wiring connections must be enclosed in the junction box.

This unit has copper lead wires.
Joining aluminum building wire to stranded copper wire

should be done by a qualified electrician using materials

recognized by UL and local codes.

Property Damage

Do not solder within 6” of the water inlet valve. Damage to

the plastic parts in the valve may occur.
Use care that no sealer, dirt, or other objects enter the valve.

Damage to the filter screen may occur.

valve will be kept from freezing. If the valve freezes, it may

rupture and flooding may occur.

prevent early clogging of filter screen.

Place a bunched towel

over end of line to prevent splashing. Open water supply valve for
a few seconds and let water drain into a pan.

Turn off water

supply at shut-off valve.
