To avoid possible injury or property damage, OBSERVE ALL
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS. These instructions are intend-
ed for use by qualified installers only. In addition to these
instructions, the dishwasher shall be installed to meet all
electrical and plumbing codes and ordinances (both national
and local).
Avoiding General Hazards
Do not use the dishwasher until it iscompletely installed. When
opening the door on an uninstalled dishwasher, carefully open
the door while supporting the rear of the unit. Failure to follow
this warning can cause the dishwasher to tip over and result
in serious injury.
In some conditions, hydrogen gas can form in a hot water system
that has not been used for weeks. Hydrogen gas is explosive.
Before filling a dishwasher from a system that has been off for
weeks, run the water from a nearby faucet in a well ventilated
area until there is no sound or evidence of gas.
Temperatures required for soldering and sweating will damage
the dishwasher's base and water inlet valve. If plumbing lines
are to be soldered or sweated, keep the heat source at least
6 inches (152.4 mm) away from the dishwasher's base and
water inlet valve.

Make sure electrical work is properly installed. There should be
no loose electrical connections. Ensure all electrical connections
are properly made.
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 isdesigned 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 only wire rated at 75°C (167°F) or higher.
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 appliance. Do not use extension cords.

injury could result. Only qualified plumbers should perform
plumbing work. Do not attempt any work on the dishwasher
hot water supply plumbing until you are certain the hot water
supply is shut off.
Do not over tighten the 90 ° elbow. Doing so may damage the
water inlet valve and cause a water leak.
Removing any cover or pulling the dishwasher from the cabinet
can expose hot water connections, electrical power and sharp
edges or points. Handle with care. Always wear gloves and
safety glasses.
_Avoiding Electrical Shock/Fire Hazards
Do not allow the electrical and water supply lines to touch.
Separate channels are provided under the dishwasher.
Do not work on an energized circuit. Doing so could result
in serious injury or death. Only qualified electricians should
perform electrical work. Do not attempt any work on the
dishwasher electric supply circuit until you are certain the circuit
is de-energized.
Temperatures required for soldering and sweating will damage
the dishwasher's water inlet valve. If plumbing lines are to be
soldered or sweated, keep the heat source at least 6 inches
(152.4 mm) away from the dishwasher's water inlet valve.
Check local plumbing codes for approved plumbing procedures
and accessories. All plumbing should be done in accordance
with national and local codes.
