Installation Preparation
For models equipped with power cord: Do not modify the
plug provided with the appliance; if it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified technician.
Cabinet Preparation & Wire Routing
•
The wiring may enter the opening from either side, rear or
the floor within the shaded area illustrated above in Figure
E and defined in Figure A.
• Cut a 1-1/2" maximum diameter hole to admit the
electrical cable. Edges of hole should be smooth and
rounded. Permanent wiring connections may pass
through the same hole as the drain hose and hot water
line, if convenient. If cabinet wall is metal, the hole edge
must be covered with a bushing.
NOTE: Power cords with plug must pass through a
separate hole.
Electrical Connection to Dishwasher
Electrical connection is on the right front of dishwasher.
• For permanent connections the cable must be routed as
shown in Figure E. Cable must extend a minimum of 24"
from the rear wall.
• For power cord connections, install a 3-prong grounding
type receptacle in the sink cabinet rear wall, 6" min. or 18"
maximum from the opening, 6" to 18" above the floor.
• Use the Power Cord Kit for your dishwasher model .

permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and be
connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on
the appliance.
Grounding Instructions–Power Cord Models
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk
of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance
for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor 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.
