The customer has the responsibility of ensuring that the
dishwasher electrical installation is in compliance with all
national and local electrical codes and ordinances. The
dishwasher is designed for an electrical supply of 120V,
60 Hz, AC, connected to a dishwasher-dedicated, properly
grounded electrical circuit with a fuse or breaker rated for 15
amps. Electrical supply conductors shall be a minimum #14
AWG copper wire rated at 75°C (167°F) or higher.
Grounding Instructions
The dishwasher must be properly grounded before
operating. This appliance 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 on the dishwasher. Make sure that the
dishwasher is connected to a suitable ground in compliance
with all local codes or, in the absence of a local code, with
the NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the United States or
the CANADIAN ELECTRIC CODE C22.1-latest edition in
Canada as well as any provincial/state or municipal or local
codes that apply.
Electrical Connection
The dishwasher electrical supply junction box and dedicated
