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.
