Installation Instructions
Installation Preparation
Cabinet Preparation & Wire Routing
•
 The wiring may enter the opening from either side, rear 
or the floor within the shaded area illustrated above in 
Figure E and defined in Figure A.
• Cut a 1-1/2" maximum diameter hole to admit the 
electrical cable. Edges of hole should be smooth and 
rounded. Permanent wiring connections may pass 
through the same hole as the drain hose and hot water 
line, if convenient. If cabinet wall is metal, the hole 
edge must be covered with a bushing.
NOTE: 
Power cords with plug must pass through a
separate hole in the cabinet. 
Electrical Connection to Dishwasher
Electrical connection is on the right front of dishwasher.
• For permanent connections the cable must be routed 
as shown in Figure E. Cable must extend a minimum of 
24" from the rear wall.
• For power cord connections, install a 3-prong 
grounding type receptacle in the sink cabinet rear wall, 
6" min. or 18" maximum from the opening, 6" to 18" 
above the floor. 
• Use only WX09X70910 or WX09X70911 Dishwasher 
Power Cord Kit.

Grounding Instructions–Permanent Connection
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 
be connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or 
lead on the appliance.
Grounding Instructions–Power Cord Models
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 
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.
