WARNING
• Make sure the voltage and frequency
listed on the data plate correspond
with the household electrical supply.
This data must correspond to prevent
injury and machine damage. Consult
a qualified electrician if in doubt.
• Only connect the dishwasher to the
mains when all installation and
plumbing work is done.
• DO NOT use any extension cord or
portable outlet device to connect the
dishwasher to a power supply.
• The power-supply receptacle 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.
• The access hole of the supply cord to
the installation compartment must be
smooth and rounded and it must be
large enough for the attachment plug
to pass through. The longest
dimension of the opening shall not be
more than 1.5” (35mm). If the
partition is metal, it needs to be
covered with an edge protector.
• Care must be taken when the
appliance is installed or removed, to
reduce the likelihood of damage to
the power-supply cord.
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 whether the appliance is
properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the appliance;
if it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. In the
event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electrical
shock by providing a path of least resistance
for electrical 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. 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.
