GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■  
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 appropriate 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.
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.
