BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or injury to

persons, the installer must ensure that the dishwasher is

completely enclosed at the time of installation.

• FOR PERSONAL SAFETY: Remove house fuse or open

circuit breaker before beginning installation. Do not use

an extension cord or adapter plug with this appliance.

• The 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 that the appliance is properly grounded.

• If house wiring is not 2-wire with ground, a ground

must be provided by the installer. When house wiring

is aluminum, be sure to use UL-Listed anti-oxidant

compound and aluminum-to-copper connectors.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or injury to

persons, the installer should check to ensure that wires

are not pinched or damaged, the house wiring is attached

to the junction box bracket through a strain relief, and

all electrical connections made at the time of install (wire

nuts) are contained inside of the junction box cover.

Do not remove wood base until you are ready to install

the dishwasher. The dishwasher will tip over when the

door is opened if base is removed.

While performing installations described in this booklet,
gloves, safety glasses or goggles should be worn.
