Outlet Location
1. The receptacle outlet should be within a reasonable
distance of the dishwasher in order for the cord to reach
without being strained. See dotted lines in figure 1.
IMPORTANT: Do not use an extension cord.
2. If necessary, cut a 1-1/2” (4cm) diameter hole in either
of the cabinet side walls to allow the new cord to pass
through. See figure 1.
3. If the cabinet side walls are wood, sand the edge of the
hole until smooth. If the side wall is metal, install the
protective grommet sup
plied in this kit.

cord to the white and black wires in the terminal
box
