6. Electrical connection
Information about the electrical connection can be found on the serial number plate. This specification
must match the electricity supply.
Grounding instructions
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 power cord fitted with an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an appropriate power outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING!
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it does
not fit the power outlet, have an appropriate power outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
The dishwasher is delivered with a supply cord and plug. If the supply cord is not long enough, or if
a wired installation is required, an external supply cord can be connected to the dishwasher’s junction
box (located behind the toe kick panel).
Use caution when the appliance is installed or removed to reduce the likelihood of damage to the
power cord.
Connect via the plug
The power outlet for the appliance shall be installed in a cabinet or on a wall adjacent to the
undercounter space in which the appliance is to be installed. Do not use an extension cord for this
appliance.
The access hole for the electrical supply must be round and smooth and no bigger than 1 1/2'' (38 mm)
in diameter. If the partition is metal, it needs to be covered with an edge protector.

The plug must be disconnected and power to the socket turned off while work is carried out!
