Before Using Your 
Dishwasher
Install where dishwasher is protected from the 
elements. Protect against freezing to avoid possible 
rupture of fill valve. Such ruptures are not covered by 
the warranty. See “Storing Your Dishwasher” in the 
“Caring for Your Dishwasher” section for winter storage 
information.
Install and level dishwasher on a floor that will hold the 
weight, and in an area suitable for its size and use.
Remove all shipping plugs from hoses and connectors 
(such as the cap on the drain outlet) before installing. 
See Installation Instructions for complete information.
Tip Over Hazard
Do not use dishwasher until completely installed.
Do not push down on open door.
Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Electrically ground dishwasher.
Connect ground wire to green ground connector 
in terminal box.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in 
death, fire, or electrical shock.
For a grounded, cord-connected dishwasher:
The dishwasher 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. The 
dishwasher is equipped with a cord having an 
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding 
plug. The plug must be plugged into an appro-
priate outlet that is installed and grounded in 
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
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 dishwasher is properly 
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with 
the dishwasher; if it will not fit the outlet, have a 
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
For a permanently connected dishwasher:
The dishwasher 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 
dishwasher.
